I Love That Greta Thunberg Has Been Nominated For A Nobel Peace Prize [View all]

She’s been nominated before, I hope the fearless miss gets it this time.

“According to The Associated Press, two lawmakers from Sweden, Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, announced they had nominated the teen on Monday, citing her climate activism.

The two lawmakers said the 17-year-old “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis,” adding that “action for reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace,” the news agency reports.

According to the AP, the deadline to submit nominations for the prestigious honor was Sunday.”
