A Present for the Future - a Free Copy of Greta Thunberg's Climate Crisis Book for all Hay Kids

by Andrew Williams | June 05, 2019 | 0 Comments

We are delighted to be able to offer anyone under eighteen in Hay on Wye a free copy of the new book by celebrated teenage climate activist, Greta Thunberg. “No One is Too Small to Make a Difference” gathers together Greta’s speeches, which have sparked a global movement and earned the teenager a Nobel Prize nomination - not bad for someone literally a third of my age!

We believe that the climate emergency we face is the most serious threat the human race has ever faced. As a fair trade shop, we also know that it is the poorest countries which suffer most from our changing climate. We need urgent action, and so far, our governments have let us down. Instead, it has fallen to activists like Greta Thunberg and the Extinction Rebellion movement to make people sit up and listen. We hope that by reading what Greta has to say, a new generation of Hay activists may be able to succeed where our current leaders have failed.

A free copy of Greta’s book will be available to anyone from Hay on Wye and the surrounding areas who calls into Eighteen Rabbit. While the usual “small print” will apply, there’s no need to bring ID unless you are lucky enough to look older than eighteen.
