Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg arrived in New York City on Wednesday after traveling
across the Atlantic Ocean in a zero-emission yacht. She is attending several events in the city next month,
including the U.N. General Assembly, U.N. Youth Summit on Climate and the Climate Action Summit.

spectrum, Greta was thrust into the role of a global leader after years of struggling with crippling depression.
One of her first victories was persuading her mother, a well-known opera singer in Sweden, to stop flying.

to urinate sitting down.
At least, that’s how it seems to me. But the issue isn’t quite so clear-cut for the Swedes. Viggo Hansen,
a councillor from the Left Party in Sörmland – a socialist feminist outfit – tabled a motion to ban urinals.
That’s right. He wants to force Swedish men onto their haunches whenever they visit the lavatory.
According to the Vancouver Sun, the Swedes are even attempting to indoctrinate little boys at nursery,
drumming into them the message
“be a sweetie and take a seatie”. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/10555436/Im-taking-a-stand-against-peeing-sitting-down.html
