Teenage
eco warrior Greta Thunberg stuck to routine on her 17th birthday and
joined a weekly 'Fridays for Future' march outside the Swedish
parliament.
She joined other climate
activists outside the parliament in Riksdagen, in Stockholm on Friday,
January 3, for the 72th consecutive week of the marches.
Thunberg
tweeted a picture of herself at the march early this morning, wrapped
up warm in the cold weather and holding her trademark sign reading in
Swedish: 'School strike for climate'.
It
comes after the Swedish teenager gave a message to her fans on New
Year's Eve thanking them for their support. 'What a year... I won’t even
try to summarise it - but nothing would have been possible without your
support. So thank you!' she said.

The
school strike for the climate marches were sparked by Thunberg when she
staged her first protest in August 2018, at the age of 15.
It
has since spread all over the world to involve more than 100,000
schoolchildren who take time off from class to participate in
demonstrations to call for action on climate change.
Thunberg
arrived back in her home country last month after an epic voyage saw
her cross the Atlantic from the UK to America before visiting cities
across the US and Canada, then returning to Portugal.

From
there she went by train to a climate summit in Spain - which ended
without an agreement - before visiting Turin and Basel on her way back
to Sweden. The young climate activist refuses to travel by plane due to
the environmental cost and has twice crossed the Atlantic by boat in
recent months.

activism has seen her invited to speak at parliaments across the world,

She

global movement demanding world leaders take action on climate change.

Greta is currently on a gap year from her education and heads back to school in August.
Greta's
father has recently revealed how his daughter suffered with depression,
but the teenager says her activism has been like a medicine.
She told Radio 4: 'It really helps in getting out of that depression because it gives a feeling you are having an impact.'
Greta
added: 'Just being part of a movement that has so much impact on the
world is an amazing feeling. I wish that more people could feel like
that.'
