Greta Thunberg nominated for Nobel peace prize
Greta Thunberg, the founder of the Youth Strike for Climate movement, has been nominated for the Nobel peace prize, just ahead of the biggest day yet of global action.
Thunberg began a solo protest in Sweden in August but has since inspired students around the globe. Strikes are expected in 1,659 towns and cities in 105 countries on Friday, involving hundreds of thousands of young people.
“We have proposed Greta Thunberg because if we do nothing to halt climate change it will be the cause of wars, conflict and refugees,” said Norwegian Socialist MP Freddy André Øvstegård. “Greta Thunberg has launched a mass movement which I see as a major contribution to peace.”
I’m a big fan, I’ve been posting links to her protest in open threads for a month now trying to help out.
the Movement is still growing ! Help her out & get onboard tomorrow near you !

Vegan Teen Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize
Vegan climate change activist Greta Thunberg, who is just 16-years-old, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Thunberg has made global headlines through her campaigning, which includes encouraging students to attend demonstrations demanding political action on climate change while 'on strike' from school. Her influence has spread beyond her native Sweden throughout Europe and beyond.
According to reports, Thunberg has persuaded her family to go vegan and give up flying, saying: "For me none of this is a sacrifice, I don't need those things. I understand that some people see it as a sacrifice."
You say you love your children above all else and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes.
