96. One child.

Greta is special. She’s what medicos call someone with “special needs” — suffering from learning disabilities. She says, “I have Asperger’s syndrome, which means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And given the right circumstances, being different is a superpower.” A superpower, she is.

Greta garnered global attention not because she excelled in school, but because she has “bunked school” every Friday — pioneering the “Fridays for Future” movement by sitting in front of the Swedish Parliament, protesting inaction against climate change. “Some say I should be in school,” she confesses, “But, why should anyone be made to study for a future when no one is doing enough to save that future?”



Greta “walks the talk” by living an extremely ecofriendly lifestyle. She courageously criticises the world’s super-rich with “extra-special needs”, saying: “Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury. It’s the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.”


Of politicians she says, “For way too long, the politicians and people in power have gotten away with not doing anything at all to fight the climate and ecological crises... But we will make sure that they will not get away with it any longer.”
