Concern about the environment is increasing, especially for some companies and governments that have already established measures to combat climate change and reduce the amount of emissions they emit.
One of the people who has stood out the most in demanding that the government and all its inhabitants do something for our ecosystems is the Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg, who has taken to the streets to protest for a better world.
She has been an inspiration for several teenagers, so much so that she recently published, along with other young environmentalists, a letter in the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung where she urged a global general strike against climate change on September 20.
Global climate strike
"Once again our voice will be heard in the streets, but it cannot depend on us alone," said the text distributed by the nearly 50 young activists who call on the entire society to get involved in the fight against global warming.
It should be noted that Thunberg started the Fridays for Future strike last August, an initiative that hopes to mobilize thousands of young people from 110 countries in more than 1,350 events. A year after its launch, young people intend to increase pressure on politics and the industry.
Inside the letter you can also read:
«On September 20 we will begin a week of action for the climate with a global strike. We ask you to join. There are many activities in different parts of the world to get involved in. Go out that day with your neighbor, your co-worker, your friends and your family so that our voices can be heard," they wrote in the letter, which considers that the chosen date will be "a new beginning."
What they want to do is for this day France Mobile Number List to be a “turn in history”, for adults to go from simply praising the involvement of young people to taking action: “Everyone can and should collaborate.”
Among the signatories are Belgians, Germans, Swiss, British, Americans, French, Malaysians, South Africans, Australians, Dutch, Indians, Japanese and Chileans.
Alternative Nobel for Greta
The Right Livelihood Award foundation awarded the 2019 Alternative Nobel Prize to Swedish activist Greta Thunberg; to human rights defender Aminatou Haidar, from Western Sahara; to the women's lawyer Guo Jianmei, from China and the Brazilian Davi Kopenawa. The awards were given for activism demonstrated in solving global problems.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg won the award “for inspiring and embodying political demands for urgent climate action based on scientific data.”
The Alternative Nobel Prize was created in 1980 to “honor and support courageous organizations and individuals who propose visionary and exemplary solutions to the root causes of global problems.”
It is widely known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize,” and so far 170 people and organizations from 69 countries have received it.
Greta Thunberg's movement called Fridays For Future began a year ago, when she held her first school climate strike, alone in front of the Swedish Parliament.
I am deeply grateful to be one of the recipients of this great honor. But of course, every time I receive an award, I'm not the one who wins. I am part of a global movement of children, young people and adults of all ages who have decided to act in defense of our living planet. I share this award with them

Thunberg is an example for hundreds of students, so much so that they have also decided to go out and march in Berlin to demand more measures to prevent global warming. 12 thousand students have mobilized in Brussels, where the headquarters of the European Union is located, and demand a better climate.
