Climate activist Greta Thunberg has applied to trademark her name and her movement Fridays for Future to prevent them from being misused for commercial reasons, she announced Wednesday.

Thunberg said in an Instagram post that she and the movement “are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever” for marketing, selling products and collecting money.

“This action is to protect the movement and its activities,” she wrote, adding that, “I assure you, I and the other school strikers have absolutely no interests in trademarks. But unfortunately it needs to be done.”

She added that the movement belongs to “young people” and “can — and must — not be used for individual or commercial purposes.”

The post also includes a warning against people trying to “impersonate” Thunberg or claiming they “represent” her and the establishment of a foundation to handle money “in a completely transparent way.”

There go my plans for Greta Thunberg electroshock therapy electrodes and leather straps. She will want too much of a cut.

Maybe her and Hogg Boy can come up with a brand.

I read your post and thought it said, "Maybe her and Hogg Boy can start a boy a band."

I just woke up.

She’s done a fine job of abusing her name all by herself - oops, all by itself.

Beware when narcissists begin to believe their own press releases. .

Greta looks as though her diaper suffered a fecal warming event. Is she even potty trained? Her Commie Swede parents are too busy pimping her out to care.

That post didn’t come from the teenager, it came from the people using her in perpetuating this climate change hoax.
