Not a fan of her. She was given the platform because her parents are rich and well-connected so could get the media to focus on her, most other kids would have done the same and been ignored and probably told off by the school
That aside, I also think her approach was very useless. Most the kids walking in those protests are unlikely to change their lifestyles so will still be subscribing to fast fashion and the like. She had this platform with world leaders and instead of having scientists and experts with possible ideas speak (as governments clearly lack the damn effort to do the work themselves and she doesn't know anything beyond your basic GCSE stuff) to these important people and have a bigger platform in general... she just told the governments that it's an issue and they should do something. Like wow, I'm a 100% sure you gave them great insight into the movement you have going!
People always seem to come back with this whole discussion to how it's the governments who should be taxing all those corporations and the like, and while I agree, individual people choosing to cut down on meat or stop buying into fast fashion is going to be a step one day or another. Seeing how slow the governments are moving, you may as well make that step now really. The impact won't be as big as a corporation doing something useful, but there's hope that demand at least decreases and so does supply

along with many other questions that she didn't have scripted answers for, so she said nothing, just smirked and grinned, she is laughing at us, this green nonsense and the money it's costing ALL of us, as a millionaire she doesn't have the worry of paying her heating bill etc.
