Description
Who is Greta Thunberg?
When you watched the video on Wednesday, you may have thought that global warming is too big for one person to solve. If you stop eating meat, there are lots of other people who are still eating meat, so why change your habits? Greta Thunberg does not believe this. She is of the opinion that, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. 1. Write one paragraph about Greta Thunberg. Who is she, where is she from, and what is she trying to do (in other words, why is she famous)? When you research her, you will find that she is also being mocked (made fun of) by many people, including government leaders. 2. Write one paragraph about why people are making fun of her or accusing her of not telling the truth. 3. Write down ten easy actions you could do right now to reduce your impact on global warming. 4. If working to reduce global warming is so easy, why do you think we (people, governments, you) are not doing it? Extension: Research one city which is trying to make a difference by reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. What is the city doing?
