But Greta was not the only young person to talk about climate change and environmental pollution. Here are four more young activists who have worked to save our planet!

Autumn, who took over the role of her aunt, made a speech at the UN General Assembly in 2018; &quot;No one should have to worry about water cleaning or scarcity.
