“I make no part of an organization. I support and work sometimes together with different NGOS, but I am absolutely independent and represent only myself. Everything I do, I do for free. I've never had money or a promise to receive future payments. And, of course, will continue to do so. I have no klimaatactivist met who are doing it for the money. That idea is utterly absurd. Further, I travel only with the permission of my school and pay my parents all the tickets and accommodations.”
