On the current blockade against petroleum terminal in Norway, Public Service interviews Greta at front gate.
NRK: Why are you activisting today?
Greta: We are in an urgently escalating climate emergency and with everything we know, everything at stake, we can not justify that these [the petroleum terminal's] activities continues. This is the largest production facility in Europe and we know... it's crystal clear, science and everyone affected clearly said that the oil industry leads to people's deaths and suffering, and we are privileged enough to be able to act and sit down here and stop these [petroleum terminal's] activities and therefore we choose to do that, because we can not silently look on while this is allowed to continue happening.
NRK: You activist against a lot of different things. How important is THIS vs other actions you're a part of?
Greta: Everyone we do matters. Everyone able to act must do everything they can, to stop this violent business as usual from continuing on, soo, we can not compare various actions against each other, we must do EVERYthing we can, at the same time.
NRK: How long are you prepared to sit here?
Greta: Right now, we intend to keep sitting here. We'll have to see how long we remain here, but we have no plans to leave.
