This isn’t what she is advocating and you know it.I think that if you're going to cut class one day a week and stay home in order to do your own environmental protest at home, then you should not use anything that requires electricity, coal, natural gas, etc. So this would mean:
Etc., etc.
- no heating your home with a heater in winter. Fireplace only.
- no cooking or baking anything using your stove unless it's a wood stove
- no traveling anywhere by car, bus, or train. Only on foot, bicycle, or horse.
- no using your cell phone, computer, or any electronic devices at home whatsoever
- no turning on the lights. Candles or oil lamps only. Extra 20 points if you harvested the oil yourself. Oh wait, if you're in Scandinavia, that would require you to hunt whales because, well, before global warming that's what they used for oil, right? But whale hunting is usually outlawed. What about olive oil? That's a no go, too, because olive trees won't grow in Sweden. Must only use olive oil that gets delivered to Sweden by sailing ship.
I mean, if you're going to go all purist like Greta says she wants to, you'd really have to go to extremes. It's really foolish and impractical.
How anyone would denigrate a young person who is wanting to assure that our world is a better place to live in is beyond me.
