Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number
of people to continue making enormous amounts of money... It is the sufferings
of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few... You say you love your
children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of
their very eyes... (Greta Thunberg)
