Greta Thunberg Read By Jameela Jamil

Full Episode description

(This episode originally aired April 20th, 2020)

Once upon a time, there was a Swedish girl who refused to go to school. Her name was Greta.

When Greta found out about an island of trash the size of Mexico floating around the ocean, she couldn’t understand why there weren’t more people concerned enough to take action. Greta found strength in talking about how global warming affects kids and grownups alike and how together we can make a positive impact on the world we live in.
