"People tell me I should be in school, learning how to be a climate scientist, learning facts, but why should I go to school to learn facts when the most important facts by the most educated climate scientists are ignored by politicians and society?" She keeps it real. Thank you, Greta!
Dear Greta, Climate will change as it always has done and will do , if you go go school or not. Inform yourself about the geological history of the Earth . Think about it!!! Var rädd om dig!
Nope. Kids must learn again how to love the nature. And not being indoctrinated by lies, like co2 and all that kind of nonsense. Science has been politicized, that is a fact that should be teached.
@@ykalon Yes climate change is real but not caused by humans but by the sun. And all those scientists who speak otherwise are payed by politicians. The only goal is to take money out of our pockets.

Felt so helpless for her, knowing even with the end of speech and the applauses, perhaps a majority would have just continued with the usual life as soon as they get home.
Don´t we all... The point here is that we are waiting for someone trigger some sense to all of us so we can say " ah yeah this climate change is real and we´re messing things up". Still after some days we do nothing cuz we feel we are no one to make any difference. We need to stop thinking about it. We REALLY need to stop thinking and start acting.
Greta is an autistic prophet. The best and wisest leaders are depressed neurotic autistic teens. Greta Thunberg for supreme chancellor of the world...All hail Greta Thunberg
THE most important ted talk, why? Because as she said, if a problem is so grave that it threatens our own existence then everybody should be talking about it and nothing else until it's addressed. But that would only happen if we were as smart as she is but sadly we are not which is why our long term survival as a species is extremely slim at best.
Dude, hearing from a child saying why have you done this to us, crushes the soul... We love you Greta, stand up for all the scientists afraid of speaking...

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. ❤️
Unfortunately for you, those who don’t experience the issue face to face will turn a blind eye to this. Their thinking is “That doesn’t concern me.” This is the uphill battle for you, your people and all those who goes through the same threat, like Greta. Big oil and energy will not bend.
Blame the Sun or move, stop blaming people so you can sit and whinge about it. Humans are incredibly adaptable otherwise they wouldn't be on every continent on the planet.
TED is so bad. Emotional presentation. How on earth can anyone listen to this girl and applaud and then drive home and fly to Thailand for vacation? So pathetic - I am talking about the audience. I think this girl has promise even though she is extremely annoying. She thinks she knows, but does not. I don't find her handicap cute. She should study and find ways to find new energy. Not talk to rich people who get their companies to pay 1,000 dollars to attend a TED conference
She is crying out for help. So many living things are crying out for help. We cannot ignore them. How can we ignore them? Thank you, Greta. Please keep talking about climate change--and acting to change things.
She is repeating a well rehearsed spiel developed by some unscrupulous adult(s), designed to indoctrinate the young with extremely anti-science ideas and nonsense, much like a cult. They should be deeply ashamed. It's unlikely that she understands that there hasn't been any statistically significant global warming in her entire lifetime.
To those people here commenting about her looks, language she is speaking, breath I think the purpose of you here looking at this video is to get the points and listen to her speech. She is brave to be able to stand on the stage to face so many audience. So stop criticizing her.
can't imagine how long she's been feeling frustrated...likewise here Miss Thurnberg !took a listen of your wake - up call speech from Science City in Nueva Ecija , Philippines 3119 brainstorming hardware design of a utility wheel utilizing gravity of solid matter for more than ten years now .started 2014 ---- no deadline yet😂
One of the scariest moments in my life was when I realised that adults weren’t as smart as I’d thought. I slipped into depression as well, because I felt like nobody cared about issues because if they did, they would’ve been fixed. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned about activism and campaigning. I’m now running for the youth parliament in my country, and I’m getting involved in public transport campaigns and now this one too. Keep fighting, you’re inspiring others to fix these issues.

@@Gyvulys I know, I just thought the original comment meant “animal cruelty” as in animals dying from climate change (this might have not made any sense I can’t explain things very well)
Josieloveselephants Not everyone - because of talks like these, I am now almost vegan, I have stopped using plastic water bottles and plastic bags, I have started a second compost pot and I try to use renewable energy when I can. (And I’m 14 - still under my dad’s roof/rules) But yeah, most people just move on and it’s sad. But the only thing you can change is what you do: what have you changed? What can you change? What will you change? Please tell me... (Btw I love your profile pic, Dodie!! 🏳️🌈💜)
Well, cats cannot build concentration camps but before they kill mice they injure them and then enjoy watching them suffering. Mice and rats are commonly used for "scientific purposes" by cosmetic companies. I believe a lot of vegan ladies use their products.
@@peterbajgar5727 Please, I beg of you don't even joke about that. If a person is Vegan they probably care about animals which means they're not going to want to be responsible for directly killing one. People are susceptible to thinking they can force their pet onto their diet, but cats are of course obligate carnivores. Nobody needs more tragedies in their life.
THIS GIRL CAME FROM SWEDEN ALL THE WAY TO BRUSSELS WITH THE TRAIN THAT IS RIGHT SHE REFUSED TO TAKE A PLANE OR A CAR CAUSE ITS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! IT TOOK HER MAYBE 1 DAY ! 👏👏👏
Dear my lovely Greta! As a gen Z like you, I fully understand your worries and frighten when thinking about the future of our world - the future where you and I have to live in for the next 50 years - because I always worried about it too. If I was there, I want to give you a hug. I know many people said that the world problems are more complicated and only a speech from an angry girl can't make any impacts. But from the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate your courage to speak up for our generation. You deserve more empathy rather than the criticism. Thanks to your speech, I've taken actions to save our environment by donating 10% of my monthly salary to cultivate trees in the National Parks in Vietnam and I promise to do this from now on to the rest of my life. Thank you for encouraging me to accomplish my duty with our Mother Earth!! 1000 applaud to you!!!
@@70spoem I should skip uni and hold up a sign saying : we need to prevent famine in Africa, we need to prevent this TOGETHER! Will I then too deserve a noble prize?
"I only speak when necessary. Now is one of those moments." Words of wisdom from Greta which many people can utilize. Speak when necessary. One does not have to jabber all the time.
I saw she’s criticized from people a lot on internet. In Buddhism there are teaching that “The more correct your actions, the stronger the resistance.” It takes a time,but slowly you’re going to change the people in the world.
"These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world." John 16:33 Glad to see our Lord Jesus Christ's teachings continue to gain in popularity 😊
Yet, it's often the only thing they do. My friends went to the protest, right before that they bought meat and a to-go-cup of coffee. It hurts to see how disconnected people are from their actions and the consequences.
@@dianazapata8268 That's not the point - the future of this planet and everything that lives on it is, I think, _just a bit_ more important than a bit of bad spelling.
Rebeccarebelli According to my calculations my carbon footprint is about 55lb/day from electricity (25lb of that is to charge my electric car, for 60mi/day), and 13lb/day from meat, if I eat the way I “want” to. 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... So it seems to me, what we should be doing is invest in research for carbon sink technologies and other similar directions -- not bankrupt entire economies while yelling fire.
51% of the gasses like methane are produced by livestock animals like cows so a plant-based diet is one of the most important things you can do. Watch Cowspiracy
Alberto Scatto but only if you eat local produce - eating exotic fruits and vegetables that have to be transported across the world in refrigerated containers is also damaging - so tell me, how sustainable is a vegan lifestyle when you have to live off of locally grown foods? Meat is not a problem, it’s eating too much of it that is. If we reduced our meat intake to 10 or 20% of what it is, we and the planet would be healthier.
@@Xrisus94 Oh, so what's the more effective solution you're proposing? Would be really happy to get to know your secret, so everyone can follow it and my children can live! :)
@@myawilliams4549 well obv not blaming all of it on the cows when there are a lot of other factors that contribute much more to the environment. We have used livestock for thousands of years, but it was after the industrial revolution that climate change became a thing. Fossil fuel, airplanes, plastic waste, polluting the sea, cutting down rainforests, Rich companies buying patents for alternative fuel or environmental power production then shutting them down. And. Much more That is the real problems, not blaming it on the cows and think that just because you stop eating meat, the world will be saved. You yourself need to do what Greta does, talk. Call your politians, discuss this at work, attend rallies, pressure the ones in power. That is what YOU need to do for your children. Because they shouldn't have to do what Greta does today.
Climate experts will tell you that having children is the worst thing you can do to the environment so the irony of this little girl complaining about her own future when, by her own logic, she is the reason there may not be one is astounding.
@@sburgos9621 You should base your logic on the huge amount of signs and "evidence" about climate change and pollution, instead of basing your logic on what some climate experts said. Which climate experts would those be anyway? And how would two parents having 2 kids be the worst thing you can do to the environment? Especially if that family is going to great ends to show awareness about the crisis of climate change. By your logic, everyone should stop having kids and we should just all wait to die off and go extinct. Although it would solve the problem, who would ever agree to that?
Those people are the adults being salty because this girl has done more in her 16 years on this planet than they ever will. Don’t hate on her for being right. Hate on those making what she’s saying right.

that's a good one being of a comment being all the same of which could possibly be employed as a coined-phrase by me, & i will have to employ that one at some, or such a given moment in time in one of my soapbox speeches reflecting a comment of that being of mine own to be posted to a social-media-broadcast, or video
And that's a good and healthy thing. You still in time to study and really understand how the world works, with or without human beings. Unless you join the school strikes and stop studying until they listen to you, as Greta told in one of the interviews or speech, and act as you please.
Greta, I realised the world was in trouble in 1960 when I was 12. You are right, everything has to change. I am doing my bit and you are doing your bit. So there is a chance. Never give up.
Melanie Martinez I was being a little sarcastic. The world is not in trouble by any means. This speech is perfect because it's childish thinking. Life is at the best it's ever been in the history of time. People are living longer healthier with more access to the rest of the world. There is not one inferiority now compared to any time in history. A poor person in a developed country lives better than the richest man on the planet 2 hundred years ago.
@@albertgreen8347 I agree that we have evolved much better than we were a long time ago. Regardless, we still have problems going on today. If they go unnoticed, they bring us down. Maybe then you can compare the now to former eras. Also, I apologize for being unable to pick up on your sarcasm. After all, it is only a written comment.
This was amazing and I will take action to stop the climate change. I loved this talk, and whoever disliked it probably regrets it. Greta Thunberg spoke the truth here. It was beautiful.
@@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. I hope this is enough of an explanation in supporting the other individuals argument about how Greta’s speech was not her own.
@@Butterfly-gt5sk You didn't mention about what ACTION we need to take and neither did she. No policy, no technology, no invention, no intervention and no ideas which are even remotely effective solutions. She has no idea about what to do. All she has are empty words to describe a utopian catastrophe which may or may not actually happen given the rapid increase in sustainable technologies.
"Definitely deserves the Nobel prize in my opinion." The Nobel Foundation should create a new prize for acting against the climate crisis ;) "But it's also really sad that it's the kids who need to lead the change." Well, it is their future and not the 73yr-old Mr.Trump's

You're a literal moron, please Kindly show me evidence. I can show evidence, a very specific one is from NASA. But they're fake of course
@@stormysocks Science wise I don't believe there are more then two genders, yet it doesn't effect me if someone wants to be a different gender. I don't care. Climate Change effects me. Just because some lefties are really obsessed with genders doesn't suddenly make Climate science fake. Give me one arguement that disproves Climate Change.
To those who think "If the planet is doomed tf am I in school for?!", it is exactly what you're in school for. 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. So use her shouts as an inspiration to work harder, not as an excuse to be lazy or to blame everything on others. It is a progress, and it will only progress if everyone takes up responsibility they're capable of.
She is not lazy, she is one of the top 5 students in her school. You don't have to go to school to learn, you can learn from home too. We need to stop burning fossil fuels and learn to live more sustainably NOW because changes to Earth systems are occurring already, for example the Jet Stream is changing.
The planet will be here in a billion years & probably full of life. That's not doom. Life has thrived when the planet was a tropical jungle & even survived when it was a frozen wasteland.
As many of us like her she probably wouldn't really know what to do. These things are hard to put into the reality. People usually don't like it.. So the politician becomes unpopular and they won't get elected again.
I think our society should stop putting so much emphasis on individuals. Yeah, sure she is a cool girl. But stop making her a hero. Focus on the important thing here: How are we going to tackle this challenge as a species? This is not something that will be solved by a single person but a challenge for us all.
@@duelmasteryuya1205 The Earth is also historically cold right now, not historically hot. We're deep deep within an ice age right now. That's why there's ice all over the planet, the definition of an ice age.

Wow, could you imagine if our school system would produce more students like Greta Thunberg. I hope she gets the support she needs to continue the battle of climate change. She is truly an inspiration.
The help she needs is our help, Your help! It's not enough to wish her all the best, we need to support her in this and stand up for the planet together!
USA doesn't need to reduce emissions. Co2 is 1/3rd of photo synthesis, increased Co2 means increased availability for the proliferation of bio mass, more bio mass means more food, more energy and what isn't consumed, is sequestered and becomes.. you guessed it, Oil.
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!
Not everyone is unfortunately able to change their current life like this but genuinely thank you for your wonderful contribution. I pledged to contribute as much as I can as well and strive to achieve your goal as well.
Studying in a city where I can reach everything by bike, living in a student room in a shared house, reduce eating animal products, reduce my food-waste (almost 0 by now), visiting my parents by bus (15hrs one-way, and paying a carbon emission equalization fee) instead of by plane, using my devices until they're no longer usable before I buy new, gift away donations for Christmas instead of some stuff, buy recycled toilet paper, go vote and motivate others to go vote.

Even three years after her talking about this specific problem it is not enough done by the politicians to save these islanders.

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?

What did anyone in that audience do to change the rules. My guess is nothing. Applause for a little girl is self absorbed and patronizing unless you follow her lead and do something.
Ray Bretzloff Krampus amen! Enough of liberal elites patting themselves on the back for agreeing with her and giving her a standing ovation - what do they do when they leave the hall? Do what she told you to do, otherwise it’s just self-congratulation and self-righteousness. I love that Greta lives by her values.
Areliagh Where does it say they shouldn’t applaud? Your understanding of my point is narrow. I explicitly say that liberal elites enjoy feeling good when they applaud what they believe is virtuous, but once they leave the venue there’s no real action on their part. Greta highlights this too. So of course they should/can applaud, but their action is more important than anything else. Liberal elites love applauding the right causes, but that’s usually where it stops. I’m a Vegan, for a start. We recycle 90% of our waste. We reuse as much water as we can. Our entire garden consists of succulents that don’t require much water at all. 1 of our 2 cars is green.

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. ❤️
I'm so sorry!!! I'm doing my best to help to help this crisis stop!
Have u ever thought of those live in Siberia and Canada will have a better life, as someone from a cold place I think global warming isn’t bad

Unfortunately for you, those who don’t experience the issue face to face will turn a blind eye to this. Their thinking is “That doesn’t concern me.” This is the uphill battle for you, your people and all those who goes through the same threat, like Greta. Big oil and energy will not bend.

The best thing you can do is adapt a plant based diet. Reduces your emission footprint by 51%
Rebeccarebelli
According to my calculations my carbon footprint is about 55lb/day from electricity (25lb of that is to charge my electric car, for 60mi/day), and 13lb/day from meat, if I eat the way I “want” to. 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... So it seems to me, what we should be doing is invest in research for carbon sink technologies and other similar directions -- not bankrupt entire economies while yelling fire.

Alberto Scatto but only if you eat local produce - eating exotic fruits and vegetables that have to be transported across the world in refrigerated containers is also damaging - so tell me, how sustainable is a vegan lifestyle when you have to live off of locally grown foods?

What makes u think she didn’t write it urself
@@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. I hope this is enough of an explanation in supporting the other individuals argument about how Greta’s speech was not her own.

@@stormysocks Science wise I don't believe there are more then two genders, yet it doesn't effect me if someone wants to be a different gender. I don't care. Climate Change effects me.

To those who think "If the planet is doomed tf am I in school for?!", it is exactly what you're in school for. 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. So use her shouts as an inspiration to work harder, not as an excuse to be lazy or to blame everything on others. It is a progress, and it will only progress if everyone takes up responsibility they're capable of.
👍🙏💗🌎
She is not lazy, she is one of the top 5 students in her school. You don't have to go to school to learn, you can learn from home too. We need to stop burning fossil fuels and learn to live more sustainably NOW because changes to Earth systems are occurring already, for example the Jet Stream is changing.
Just letting yall know this kid probably doesn't have a childhood anymore.
tell that to the kids in sweatshops, you lefty pet
She's 15 so yeah the childhood phase is already over
She is not a kid... she was 15 when she gave that speech
Tatiana Couceiro that's considered a kid legally bud
umm tht was her choice tho .......
If the planet is doomed tf am I in school for?!
That's her point that's why she stopped to do strikes on Fridays 😂
For a pice of paper, and a low wage job😉
So you can be prepared for a job you hate and spend 40 hours a week doing it.
The planet will be here in a billion years & probably full of life. That's not doom. Life has thrived when the planet was a tropical jungle & even survived when it was a frozen wasteland.
So you can be educated on global warming and not help to accelerate it.
This girl is amazing, IMAGINE if she was the most powerful persons of the world? We would have a wonderful world
As many of us like her she probably wouldn't really know what to do. These things are hard to put into the reality. People usually don't like it.. So the politician becomes unpopular and they won't get elected again.
I think our society should stop putting so much emphasis on individuals. Yeah, sure she is a cool girl. But stop making her a hero. Focus on the
important thing here: How are we going to tackle this challenge as a species? This is not something that will be solved by a single person but a challenge for us all.
more to the point, we would actually have a world in about 50 years

The help she needs is our help, Your help! It's not enough to wish her all the best, we need to support her in this and stand up for the planet together!
no, but the school system can "produce" children, who are able to stand up for their visions and insights
Sorry but if the school system only produced kids who won't go to school, who is going to produce all the innovations?
it wont work. just like the gun control walkout in United States.
Holger Rode our school actually is discouraging this as well 🙄
If Sweden needed to reduce emissions from 15 percent what about U.S.A I think for US we need to reduce like 30 percent a year
Yeah oof.
more like 60 to 90%
USA doesn't need to reduce emissions. Co2 is 1/3rd of photo synthesis, increased Co2 means increased availability for the proliferation of bio mass, more bio mass means more food, more energy and what isn't consumed, is sequestered and becomes.. you guessed it, Oil.
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!

*The truth of the matter is, we already know what we've got to do.* But our lives are just too comfortable, and sacrifice is hard to make. THAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM. *That is why no one has done anything because it requires SACRIFICE.* We've got to give something up to do something for a country in need, or the world, but humankind finds it just too hard.
I don't know how we'll ever get there...especially with the people wasting their time on the internet-and even the people who've disliked this video...
The sacrifice culture we live in is what has led us to the current situation. First, everyone needs to raise their self-awareness and then act.
@@iliablokhin But that's the thing, knowing all of the videos and research that has been released to the world, people _are_ self-aware. People don't want to give up what's comfortable; like riding a bike to their work just 2 blocks away instead of taking a car.
@@dua_junaid I don't agree. I, here in Spain, see a lot of sacrifice and guilt based mentality and in my experience acting on that is an obvious sign of not living consciously. You can't see the importance of the climate impact if you don't enjoy life freely and when you constantly repeat old patterns.
But the politicians claim the know.what is happening and is going to happen but if they really knew and still did not act they would be wvil and i will not believe that. Greta Thunberg said this

Doesn’t that expand your carbon footprint? Unless you go sit somewhere expending zero resources(directly or indirectly), which they’re not.
Even three years after her talking about this specific problem it is not enough done by the politicians to save these islanders. Scientists are still concerned about it and not just Greta’s generation but the whole society is still demonstrating every Friday and constantly making people aware of climate change and its consequences. I think it is good to remind each other about how this whole movement once started and follow Greta on her mission to not save the planet, but to try to change people's opinion. 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?
I'm looking forward to a good conversation that will last for years.

What did anyone in that audience do to change the rules. My guess is nothing. Applause for a little girl is self absorbed and patronizing unless you follow her lead and do something.
Exactly my guess. The audience will go about their cosy entitled lives, and said 'oh, i heard this inspiring speech today', but nothing has changed.
Same applies for most people here commenting to praise her. She is crying out to EVERYONE; you aren't an exception.
Ray Bretzloff Krampus amen! Enough of liberal elites patting themselves on the back for agreeing with her and giving her a standing ovation - what do they do when they leave the hall? Do what she told you to do, otherwise it’s just self-congratulation and self-righteousness.
I love that Greta lives by her values.
So should they NOT applaud? What have you done btw?
Areliagh Where does it say they shouldn’t applaud? Your understanding of my point is narrow. I explicitly say that liberal elites enjoy feeling good when they applaud what they believe is virtuous, but once they leave the venue there’s no real action on their part. Greta highlights this too. So of course they should/can applaud, but their action is more important than anything else. Liberal elites love applauding the right causes, but that’s usually where it stops.
