Greta Thunberg quotes - page 4

I personally have stopped flying. I have stopped eating meat and dairy. (Greta Thunberg)

I'm not saying that people should stop flying. I'm just saying it needs to be easier to be climate neutral.

Greta Thunberg

The climate crisis is both the easiest and the hardest issue we have ever faced. The easiest because we know what we must do. We must stop the emissions of greenhouse gases. The hardest because our current economics are still totally dependent on burning fossil fuels, and thereby destroying ecosystems in order to create everlasting economic growth.

Greta Thunberg

We are living in the beginning of a mass extinction and our climate is breaking down.

Greta Thunberg

We all have a choice. We can create transformational action that will safeguard the living conditions for future generations. Or we can continue with our business as usual and fail.

Greta Thunberg

I see the world in black and white, and I don't like compromising.

Greta Thunberg

Why should I be studying for a future that soon may not exist?

Greta Thunberg

I'm telling you there is hope. I have seen it, but it does not come from the governments or corporations. It comes from the people.

Greta Thunberg

I believe that one person can make a difference.

Greta Thunberg

Giving up cannot be an option.

Greta Thunberg

It is our future on the line, and we must at least have a say in it. (Greta Thunberg)

We can't just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow.

Greta Thunberg

We should not underestimate ourselves, because if lots of individuals go together then we can accomplish almost anything.

Greta Thunberg

Being young is a great advantage, since we see the world from a new perspective and we are not afraid to make radical changes.

Greta Thunberg

My message to all the activists is to just keep going, and I know it really may seem impossible and hopeless sometimes - it always does - so you just have to keep going because if you try hard enough and long enough you will make a difference.

Greta Thunberg

To do your best is no longer good enough. We now have to do the seemingly impossible.

Greta Thunberg

My message is that if we do not care about the climate crisis and if we do not act now then almost no other question is going to matter in the future.

Greta Thunberg

Solving the climate crisis is the greatest and most complex challenge that homo sapiens have ever faced. The main solution, however, is so simple that even a small child can understand it. We have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases.

Greta Thunberg

It's empowering to know I am doing something, I am taking a stand, I am disrupting.

Greta Thunberg

The real danger is not inaction. The real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like action is happening when in fact nothing is being done.

Greta Thunberg

I remember when I was younger, and in school, our teachers showed us films of plastic in the ocean, starving polar bears and so on. I cried through all the movies. My classmates were concerned when they watched the film, but when it stopped, they started thinking about other things. I couldn't do that. Those pictures were stuck in my head. (Greta Thunberg)

We should no longer measure our wealth and success in the graph that shows economic growth, but in the curve that shows the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Greta Thunberg

There are thousands of ways to take action. For example, plant trees, pick up litter, join an organisation or movement that makes a difference and especially try to influence adults and put pressure on people in power.

Greta Thunberg

Not having hope is not an excuse for not doing something.

Greta Thunberg

People are unaware of what is going on. When I talk to people, they know the basics, they know the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases... but they don't know the actual consequence of that.
