Using Her Platform
Greta's parents are famous opera singer, Malena Ernman, and Swedish actor, Svante Thunberg. Greta is using her platform to bring awareness to the environmental issues that are plaguing the world. The best part is that she's doing it out of the pure goodness of her heart.
Greta Is Overcoming Hurdles
Greta herself has autism, OCD, and selective mutism. So, as a 16-year-old with disorders that sometimes make it hard to communicate, she still defies odds and travels the world. She's been quite open with her disorders and her past, which makes her even more inspiring.
