"People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing, we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you."
Just a few of the strong words 16-year-old Greta Thunberg spoke in front of world leaders at the UN climate summit in New York yesterday. Some leaders have accused her of being mentally ill, or don't take her seriously, but she is right. There are measures to reduce carbon emissions, but reduce is not enough. There is still much more we need to do: as a country, as a community, and as an individual.
