03. Book pick: No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference

No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference is a collection of some of the most notable speeches by Greta Thunberg – the youth climate activist who ignited a generation and a movement.

“My message is that if we do not care about the climate crisis and if we do not act now then almost no other question is going to matter in the future.”
