Here’s What You, Personally, Can Do About Climate Change Right Now

Greta on COVID-19:
It Reveals Our Flaws & Opportunities

“If the coronavirus crisis has shown us one thing,” said activist Greta Thunberg, “it is that our society is not sustainable. If one single virus can destroy economies in a couple of weeks, it shows we are not thinking long-term and taking risks into account.” She said it also showed that, when motivated, the world could come together quickly to act on the advice of scientists. Two years ago, top scientists gave us a deadline of 2030 for cutting greenhouse emissions in half. Greta says that’s overly optimistic; in fact, we have just eight years to change everything. Or perish as a civilization. “We need,” she says, “to care about each other more.”
