School strike for climate - save the world by changing the rules | Greta Thunberg | TEDxStockholm

Greta Thunberg realized at a young age the lapse in what several climate experts were saying and in the actions that were being taken in society. The difference was so drastic in her opinion that she decided to take matters into her own hands. Greta is a 15-year-old Stockholm native who lives at home with her parents and sister Beata. She’s a 9th grader in Stockholm who enjoys spending her spare time riding Icelandic horses, spending time with her families two dogs, Moses and Roxy. She love animals and has a passion for books and science. At a young age, she became interested in the environment and convinced her family to adopt a sustainable lifestyle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

As a Pacific islander i cried. My ancestors been living on these islands for thousands of years. I come from an island just a few feet above sea level. We rely 100% on what we grow. Our high tides are becoming more frequent & more damaging. The taro is our main staple food along with breadfruit & bananas, but now most of our taro patches are becoming salinated because salt water is seeping into our underground water lenses making our only main source of fresh water salty. Fewer fish is also a major issue. Long droughts & frequent storms killing people, livestock & destroying farms. I thank this young women for speaking on such issue. ❤️

Not only because that would cultivate more scientists and engineers that are capable of understanding the issues and continuing to improve the solutions, but also because school would spread correct information which is the reason young kids know better than many older people and support Greta's point.

To keep doing that and pick up the conversation about it, I would like to ask people that are watching this video even 3, 4 or 5 years after it has been published, what you guys think could be done to make the change possible and what has been done that really improved our situation?

@@purple_latte1441 While you might be correct that she did not write it i too find it hard to believe. If you observe it’s so obvious that it isn’t being spoken like it is her very own speech. There is barely any passion nor is there any indicator that it comes from her very heart but at the same time I understand it’s probably anxiety inducing to be on a stage in front of many strangers. However, as an autistic person myself with horrible anxiety and someone who has spent years growing up around countless different autistic individuals on all levels on the spectrum I assure you a lot of us would show obvious body language and clear signs that what we are saying comes from within as we are highly sensitive to many things despite the popular misconception that we are emotionless. This is not to say however that some people are not less empathetic or passionate as everyone from each and every group will be different but as a rule we are generally very emotionally sensitive. To add onto my statement about how autistic individuals have obvious body language nonverbal autistic individuals would especially need to use their bodies more so to communicate given the fact that it would be their best way of communicating and it has really helped me offer support to autistic people around me when needed.

U can put snake plants which are approved by NASA and they dont beed fertislisers, and water is only needed once a month at maximum. They are a little expensive, but thats a one time investment! There are several other plants also which are of no maintenance. ● Dont think that caring for environment is uncool or who cares and stuff.

So skipping the meat will certainly do a lot of good, but can you perhaps explain where my calculation is wrong or how you came up with 51%?

Reducing emissions would have massive costs and do little good, because the natural CO2 absorption (by oceans, land etc) to return to preindustrial levels will take more than 100,000 years...

Everyhting she said is right. we should work for our future. save everything in ths world. any of the politicians will understand this crisis until they meet . it is happening now and it is our responsibility to put and end to what we started . just because of us, many are gonna die. think about a world were there is poisoned water, air, food . all of us are gonna die someday but before that we should do something to this world . we should be grateful to be born and we have to pay it back. a little help form us can totally change the crisis. and we have many solutions all we need to do is to work for it. if we need to live , we should think about it . a future of us and the coming generatons. it might be little difficult to hear and to make it happen . but its easy if we make together . we need help and we are the ones who can help ourselves. i hope the people who read this comment knows more than me. we have to stay united until the end. the world need us. let s go for it. make it happen.

Then I guess we'll all need to stop breathing since CO2 is created everytime we exhale.

Little things you can do to help: Pull the cord out of the socket once you are done using the device. I.e If you’ve been charging your phone, pull the cord out when it’s fully charged. Lower your consumption of meat products. The absolute ideal is to get rid of all meat, but if you can’t because of various reasons then I recommend: Avoid eating red meat(lamb, beef, pork etc), and if you were to eat it, buy the meat from a local farm or check where the meat is from. Have a varied diet, make some days of your week vegetarian or vegan. Many schools in my country have at least one day of only vegan food. Avoid fast fashion. Fast fashion is what you call mass production of clothing, often in bad working environments and extremely bad for the climate. Two very huge fast fashion brands are H&M and Zara. When buying clothing check with the store/brand on where the clothes are produced. The best option to avoid fast fashion is to get hand-me-downs or shop at thrift stores, which actually seems to be gaining popularity with the younger generations. Buy only what you need. Think hardly before buying anything: Do I really need this? Is this really necessary or is it just because of aesthetic, self-satisfactory or popularity reasons? Stop using plasting bags and other single-use plastics. A plastic bag has an extremely short lifespan, mostly only lasting from the shop and then to your home. There are many other safer options than plastic bags such as regular bags, backpacks or tote bags(which also seem to be getting popular). Single-use plastics can range from anything such as plastic straws, cutlery, candy wrappers to plates. Replace that plastic straw with one made out of a reusable material like bamboo or metal, please reduce your consumption of candy and bring cutlery with you if needed. Public transport. As uncomfortable as it may be to sit on a bus or a train, it is a better option than to use a private car. More people sharing things means less production of said thing. Please add to this list if you want to, we need more alternatives to better ourselves and save the planet.

smellslikepetrichor My addings: drink tab water, if the quality is good enough. It's cheap and with very low emissions since it has not been transportes over far distances. try to wash your clothes with water as cold as possible. modern washing machines and detergents are able to clean your clothes anyway. use less detergents bc only small amounts are perfectly dosed. we are using too much of it already and harm water species by it. use water as cold as possible to do the cleaning or to wash your hands after going to the toilet. heating water needs a lot of energy and mostly is just not necessary. choose your next holiday in your area. why do we have to take exhausting long-distance flights to other continents just to sit in tourist-prepared areas, mostly exploiting the locals? often it's more relaxing to explore the wonderful little things just around you. maybe you have beautiful rivers or lakes for sailing or kanu driving or beautyful forests for travelling by foot. maybe there is a village next to yours with historic buildings? or when was the last time you visited an exhibitioun in a museum in your home town? it can be great if you try and low budget too!
