The environment seems to be a feminine issue

Yesterday evening, to see something than my own four walls, I went to a local art-house cinema to see the film I am Greta all about the young Swedish woman who started the Friday school strikes for the environment.

I counted about 22 heads (including mine) there. Most of them young teenagers, only four men among us all. Four men. Two were with their female partners so had maybe been dragged there by their girlfriend or spouse. Only two single men there.

Is the future of the environment predominantly in the hands of women?

It was a very emotional film and I started to blub silently in my seat when she got her first invitation to speak at a large environment event in Poland. She's such a diminutive figure surrounded by all these soberly dressed adults. She stands quite still most of the time and all the action revolves around her, the quite pole.

It's a film everyone should see.

I just have one criticism to make about her, which was mentioned in the film. Basically, what she says is too general. As someone mentioned, she never specifies what she wants. She should make demands of the politicians she speaks to. Detailed demands and not just along the lines of "you should do better" and "stop lying to us". I also got the feeling that a lot of the young protesters around the world didn't know exactly what they could be doing apart from saying that politicians should be doing something.
