The Swedish activist has been known for her sarcasm and spirit since she came on the world stage at the age of 15, so it may come as no surprise that she would have fun with her birthday message using the same tone.
“Thank you so much for all the wishes for my 18th birthday!” she said. “Tonight you’ll find me at the local pub, exposing all the dark secrets behind the climate and school strike conspiracy and my evil manipulators who can no longer control me! I’m finally free !!”
In addition to Thunberg’s climate activism, she used her platform to be philanthropic. She won the first Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity and donated part of the $ 1.14 million prize to fight coronavirus in the Brazilian Amazon. He also donated $ 100,000 from another Human Act award to the United Nations Children’s Fund to help children affected by Covid-19.
