Now Greta officially turns to the public on her Instagram page. “Unfortunately, there are many people who use my name or” Friday for Future “for commercial purposes without first obtaining our consent,” she writes.

This should not only protect movement. “The money is used to sue the people and businesses who want to use me and the movement for something we don’t stand up for.”
