Keep up with sustainability trends, news and striking images from around the world with five of our favourite Instagram profiles to follow…
@GretaThunberg
If you haven’t heard of this young Swedish activist by now (pictured above), she’s to sustainability what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is to politics. Seemingly out of nowhere, this bright schoolgirl has been making rousing speeches all over the world, revitalizing the conversation on climate change and directly asking politicians and global leaders why no-one is taking action. Rumoured to be considered for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the teen has gone from leading the school climate change protests – breaking Swedish law on skipping school in the process – to this week telling a room of MP’s “We probably don’t even have a future anymore. That future has been sold so that a small number of people can make unimaginable amounts of money. It was stolen from us every time you said ‘the sky is the limit’.”
