Thunberg is best known, for among other things, Fridays for Future protests where as a teenager, she would spend her Fridays outside the Swedish parliament calling for stronger action on climate change.
Her efforts would soon become a global phenomenon, with young people all over the world joining her calls for climate justice.
The activist is also known for being outspoken and not holding back, even when addressing world leaders.
But her activism has not come without criticism.
_The Climate Book _has received backlash on social media, with users questioning why an environmentalist would kill more trees by printing their book on paper.
I feel sad for all the trees you cut down to produce this book and all that paper. Seems like a thick Book, what is the carbon footprint of this book?

If you were serious about the environment and public awareness, you would provide it for free, digitally.

Some adults have never heard of recycled paper.
Just buy lots of copies of Greta’s book and the answer to your question may reveal itself.
