To the snotty nosed adults who shared that post insulting a child who is trying to help our planet, our home, shame on you. Shame on you first off for picking on a child. Secondly all those things you mentioned not using plastic bottles back in the 70s, brown paper bags for shopping, walking to school, no maccas or hungry Jack's giving away plastic crap, milk being delivered, local holidays, that's fantastic and had the younger generation be born back then they would have done the same. The big question is... Are you doing that now? Don't sit there and bag out a child for trying to change the world and secure her future if you're not.
Do you use little plastic bags to bag up your fruit and veg at the supermarket then happily collect your little bits of plastic toys at the checkout for your kids?, do you have multiple tvs, laptops, ipads, tablets, ipods and mobile phones in your house? Do YOU walk everywhere now or do you hop in your own 4x4? Do you holiday locally or do you jump on a plane to bali when the price is right? Do you buy single use plastics? Bottles of water? Plastic plates, plastic cutlery, plastic cups? Do you support the meat and dairy industry? Does your milk still come in glass or plastic now? Do you run your air con in summer? Your heater in winter? Do you use single use wipes and make up pads instead of a flannel that can be washed and reused? Do you recycle? Do you compost?
Seriously, think about things. What are you doing to help our planet ?? To help our kids and their kids have a future. I know Greta is inspiring millions. She's probably not perfect, she lives in the same world you do, but she is trying.
What are you doing ?
