It was when Greta was eight years old that she first learned about environmental problems. Her teachers showed the students films about various problems, such as the huge amount of plastic in the ocean and starving polar bears in the Arctic. She couldn’t stop crying during the films.
Her classmates were also concerned about what the films showed, but they started chatting about other things soon after the films were over. She was shocked that many of them didn’t take the problems seriously. The scenes from the films stayed with her.
At the age of 11, Greta became ill. She became so depressed that she mostly stopped talking and eating. She lost 10 kilograms in two months. Greta was angry because many people, including adults, didn’t care about the environment. She wanted people to understand that all living things on the planet now face environmental problems.
