Author’s note: Love her or hate her, Greta Thunberg has created a storm of controversy around the topic of climate change. A cartoon reading “Make America Greta Again” sparked the idea for this book, though I’m not a political activist. I believe those who can make a real difference are businesses: large – small – even side hustles. And if you can get paid to help save the planet, what’s wrong with that? I hope this book inspires you to be part of the change you want to see in the world.
