Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Greta Thunberg to trademark 'Fridays for
Future'
Originally staged by a Swedish schoolgirl,
Greta Thunberg, in August 2018, Friday’s for Future is an international
movement of school students to prevent climate change. The cause encourages students
to take time off from class on Fridays to participate in demonstrations to demand
political and business leaders to take action to prevent climate change and replace
the use of fossil fuels with renewable energy. In September last year, a series
of strikes took place with millions of participants in more than 150 countries.
Surely, the name became popular enough to be used for other purposes.
Now, in order to prevent people from using her
name and the movement for commercial purposes, Thunberg is trademarking her
name and the #FridaysForFuture movement. Also, she has set up a non-profit
foundation to manage the financial side of #FridaysForFuture, which is
essential to make the cause sustainable and independent.
The incumbent US Treasury Secretary told her
to study economics before lecturing investors. But she seems to be able to work
with experts to manage the financial and economic aspects of the movement.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this
global movement to stop climate change.
