A short, quick read with inspirational speeches by Greta Thunberg, the young Swedish environmentalist that has come on the scene in the past few years. Her message is clear: ACT NOW! Tired of hearing about the impending catastrophes coming in the next decade or two (and witnessing them annually), she focuses on taking action. I like her connection of hope and action; that action creates hope and hope motivates action. They are symbiotic but if there is too much hope and not enough action, then where are we? Her analogy of our house being on fire is spot on and that she wants people to act like this is an emergency, because it is. For such a young person, she understands the urgency of our times and I can only hope she continues her quest. She has a bright future, as long as we all act to preserve that future for her and the coming generations.
