Congrats, Greta Thunberg
Remember, if you can or want to, what you were doing at age 15 or 16. Then look at everything Swedish environmental champion Greta Thunberg has done. Last year, her solo sit- in at the Swedish Parliament to draw attention to the climate crisis grew to a worldwide climate activism movement powered by young people. Since then, she's addressed the 2018 UN Climate Change Conference, and the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit, and been nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
In the course of her activism, she's made the right kind of enemies, from lying ignoramus Donald "Rump" Trump and his thuggish handler Vladimir Putin, to OPEC and various right-wing governments.
In the face of the negativism, she's been passionate and brave about her mission, and she'll be listened to far longer that most of her detractors. Congrats.
