London - Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg will set sail for New York on Wednesday, crossing the Atlantic in a racing yacht with no shower or toilet to join protests in the United States and take part in a United Nations summit.
"I might feel a bit seasick and it's not going to be comfortable but that I can live with," Thunberg told BBC TV in Plymouth, southwest England, from where she is due to leave on Wednesday afternoon. Earlier this month, the boat's skipper told Reuters the teenage activist, who has become a figurehead for young environmental protesters, faced a challenging voyage on board the yacht which is designed for speed rather than luxury."Greta taking on this challenge of sailing across on a race boat with zero comfort really shows her commitment to the cause and how far she’s willing to push herself," skipper Boris Herrmann told Reuters.
Please don’t pick up invaders on the way.
Hope she manages to find a shower before the summit.
