Or is everyone an eco friendly, global awareness person now because of her She has a point and good intentions but I don’t see the appeal about her, she hasn’t done anything really. Tons of environmentalists have actually done good things for the planet but welp. Good for her I guess, she has potential. Exactly like a child of two actors preaches about an issue what's her role than talking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisullitcefrep 3,871 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 "She did nothing more than talking", well what is she supposed to do? Solve a problem involving several billion people all by herself? Delusional Let's talk about her fridays for future movement, making people all over the world protest for actual change. Let's talk about how she talked in front of the world's most important politicians without caring about sugarcoating it, as a 16 year old girl with autism. Let's talk about the omnipresent discussions she provoced, which eventually lead to green parties having major success all over europe. Of course she did not stop climate change, but her impact on the topic, on how we talk about it was undebiably huge. So while there might be other people deserving the title of person of the year aswell, she does so too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking cause I don't really know if she took any actions other than talking. she started the fridays for future thing which was followed by people all around the world. That's definitely more than talking in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had environmentalists doing field research for example, to come up with possible ways to stop certain problems like wasting of natural resources and energy and come up with alternatives to save them. An environmentalist doesn’t just talk and give speeches. She’s done good stuff and sparked debates but at the end of the day she’s nothing special. She’s only famous because she’s a teenager. I know lots of modern environmentalists that have done much more than her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots of modern environmentalists that have done much more than her. I agree that there are environmental scientists looking for solutions, however, it does not help if nobody's truly aware of the issue. I would go as far as saying Greta gave a huge platform for environmental science and made people listen to them, made people talk about it and questions themselves. It is very obvious how fridays for future helped green politics in a lot of countries. Of course her being a teenager added a lot to her importance but let's not act like it's a common thing for the world to listen to a teenager. And after all, she was probably the most talked person of the year, so she easily deserves to be person of the year, imo. She gave environmental activism a face, which is not to be underestimated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noisullitcefrep 3,871 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Tbh, while I think she deserves the title, we should question the concept of "person of the year". There's never just someone deserving of that title. I think a list including multiple people/ groups would be much much better. Like that we could honor the bravery of many simultaneously instead of (unporpusely) claiming only one issue os important! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
