-Моето име и движењето #FridaysForFuture постојано се користат во комерцијални цели без никаква согласност, во маркетинг проекти, продажба на производи, од луѓе кои собираат и заработуваат пари во мое име и во име на движењето, објаснува 16-годишната активистка, Грета Тунберг.

На својот Инстаграм профил, Грета ја кажа причината за својата одлука: „Се пријавив да го регистрирам моето име, и името FridaysForFuture, како трговски марки со цел да го заштитам движењето и неговите активисти“.

Impostors, trademarks, commercial interests, royalties and foundation… First: Unfortunately there are still people who are trying to impersonate me or falsely claim that they "represent" me in order to communicate with high profile people, politicians, media, artists etc. Please be aware that this is happening and be extremely suspicious if you are contacted by ”me” or someone saying they ”represent” me. I apologize to anyone who has been contacted – and even misled – by this kind of behavior. Second: My name and the #FridaysForFuture movement are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever. It happens for instance in marketing, selling of products and people collecting money in my and the movement’s name. That is why I’ve applied to register my name, Fridays For Future, Skolstrejk för klimatet etc as trademarks. This action is to protect the movement and its activities. It is also needed to enable my pro bono legal help to take necessary action against people or corporations etc who are trying to use me and the movement in purposes not in line with what the movement stands for. I assure you, I and the other school strikers have absolutely no interests in trademarks. But unfortunately it needs to be done. Fridays For Future is a global movement founded by me. It belongs to anyone taking part in it, above all the young people. It can – and must – not be used for individual or commercial purposes. And third: together with my family I’m setting up a foundation. It’s already registered and existing, but it not is not yet up and running. This is strictly nonprofit of course and there are no interests in philanthropy. It is just something that is needed for handling money (book royalties, donations, prize money etc) in a completely transparent way. For instance, taxes have to be paid before we can give them away to specified purposes and charities. This takes a lot of time and work, and when the foundation is fully up and running I will tell you more. The foundation’s aim will be to promote ecological, climatic and social sustainability as well as mental health. Love/ Greta

Тунберг а првпат станала позната со својот активизам во 2018 година, а во мај 2019 година, беше претставена на насловната страница на магазинот „ Тајм “, кој ја прогласи за „водач на следната генерација.

We went to Davos and the World Economic Forum. A lot of people have been asking for “specific demands” and “things to do” to tackle the ongoing climate emergency. So we made some specific demands and those demands were ignored completely. But we didn’t expect anything else… This will take time. Since the crisis has never been treated as a crisis, the level of awareness is way too low for any real change to happen yet. But things are changing! And we will not give up. This is only the beginning.

Шведската активистка, исто така, неодамна објави дека основала Фондација заедно со своето семејство која, како што прецизира, е „веќе регистрирана“, но сè уште не е во функција“.

– Станува збор за сосема непрофитна фондација, додала Грета, потенцирајќи дека управувањето со парите (за права на книги, донации, парични награди) ќе биде на целосно транспарентен начин. -Кога фондацијата ќе биде оперативна, ќе ви кажам повеќе за неа и работата. Целта ќе биде промовирање на еколошка, климатска и социјална одржливост, како и ментално здравје.
