Now it is. pedestalIs this a word game? Puppet.
Really?Interesting
I don’t agree with a bunch of what she says or how she say it. However, ... I think old people (us lot) discount the views of young people (them lot) at our peril...
It could also be said she’s already achieved more in her life than many, so I personally think she deserves more than being dismissed with vague terms such as snowflake. I also think she’s currently learning a way more valuable life lesson doing what she’s doing than attending school in whichever Scandinavian country she is from...
To quote Greta... “How dare you...”

Ok so I’m in a different van than usual and have been since Friday, I’ve had my daughter with me two days and have eaten two lunches in the road, this evening we chucked a full carrier bag of drink and food cartons away; it was ALL single use plastic! I commented that even three years ago there would not have been half as much plastic and I’m sure of it. Everything is now double wrapped and heat sealed, even labels are shrink wrapped in another layer of plastic! Why? Why can we not have recycled paper sacks instead of carrier bags? I’d far rather buy meat and deli loose and drinks in cartons.
I was talking to a colleague based in Singapore. He says it's trendy there now to buy 'naked' food, i.e. not wrapped in plastic. After all, he pointed out, onions are already wrapped up. I agree re packaging. It pisses me off. Ignoring Greta for a moment, it's just a waste of energy and money, surely.

Back to Greta, she annoys me. She's self-righteous, shrill and excessively opinionated. That said, there's no denying that she's drawing attention to a global problem. What's also annoying is that she's at least partly right, even if pointing at adults and screaming more is a superb way to not get people on side, except other shrill, annoying, self-righteous people.
I'm doing my bit for the climate thing by eating less meat, trying to recycle as much as possible and not driving my V12 car more than around 4K miles per year.
As ever, not quite that simple. Packaging can protect product and extends shelf life, which reduces wastage, saves money and energy etc. Logistically as well, multipacks are easier to handle than individual items.

The whole thing is a global cash cow.
