As you may know, 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is on her way to the United States right now from Europe to speak at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York on September 23rd.
The reason she left Europe so long before the summit is that she’s traveling here on a zero-emissions, solar-powered sailing yacht that won’t arrive on U.S. shores for two weeks.
She insisted on travelling this way because she refused to fly in a jet or take a fuel-powered ship, due to the levels of pollution they generate.
To say that Greta feels connected to the Earth and to the Oneness of all things is probably a bit of an understatement.
