Started by Greta Thunberg – now spread skolstrejker the world over

"Started by Greta Thunberg – now spread skolstrejker around the world"

"New survey shows hundreds of strikes"

"a 15-year-old Greta Thunberg sat alone with a sign outside the Swedish parliament – half a year later skolstrejkar thousands of young people the world over for the climate."

"Now, all strikes have been mapped out and the map of the world being flooded by the hundreds of demonstrations."

"– It's like a seven-hour long press conference every Friday, " says Greta Thunberg about the resurrection outside the parliament."

"Greta Thunberg was 15 years old when she decided to strike from the school for the climate. With a sign with the text ”Skolstrejk for the climate” she sat all by herself in front of the Swedish parliament in Stockholm."

"– When I started this I expected nothing, " she says."

"Now, six months later, she is far from alone. "

"is Spreading over the world"

"Around her in the queue a dozen reporters and photographers from both Swedish and foreign media who want interviews. "

"– It's like a seven-hour long press conference every Friday, " says Greta Thunberg."

"She has also been joined by several jewellery – and not just in Sweden."

"One of her Twitter followers have now mapped all the skolstrejker in Google maps – and they spread like a wildfire throughout the world."

"the Most commitment is in the united states, Australia, and Europe, where the map almost overflows of participation."

"– it is amazing that It has spread so far and so fast. And it is also very hopeful to show that when we want to do something so we can do it. We are young people who say that we will not tolerate this anymore, " says Greta Thunberg."

"She's trying to keep track of all the strikes that are going on and every Saturday and Sunday she puts up photos from the demonstrations on his Instagram. "

"Looks positively at the haters"

"Which filled her inbox also by messages from people who are both inspired by her and hate her."

" I think it is quite positive that there is so much haters against the climate and miljömänniskor for I have not experienced it been this much before. It means that they see it as a threat and it means that anything happened."

"But outside parliament, she is met mainly by interested persons. Several want to shake hands and take pictures, and a bus driver slows down and cranks down the box when he runs past the site."

"– Hooray for Greta! Way To Go Greta! he cries."

"A moment later will the minister for foreign affairs Margot Wallström past and always greet you with a hug. "

"She is not the only politician who sometimes swings past on their way to and from parliament, but Greta is not enough hugs and warm greetings."

"– They just say ”I promise I'll try” and so."

' I'd like to hear that ”we will drop everything else and focus only on the here and now and begin to speak clearly and explain to people that we find ourselves in an existential crisis”."

"Greta Thunberg has managed to fill the 16 years since its first strejkdag. How old she will be when she stops she does not know."

" I intend to continue with this until Sweden is in line with the paris agreement. And it may take a few years but I will be stubborn."
