Fifteen-year-old Greta Thunberg decides she can't wait any longer: politicians have to do something to save the environment. Instead of returning to school, Greta takes a placard and goes on strike in front of Sweden's parliament building. Greta's protest began the 'Fridays for Future'--or 'School Strike 4 Climate'--movement, which millions have now joined around the world.
