Greta Thunberg is calling on newspapers to stop taking ad dollars from fossil fuel companies:
So far I’ve only heard of one single daily newspaper – @ETC_redaktionen – who has decided to exclude all advertisements regarding fossil products and services.
Who will be the next one? Who will be the first major international newspaper to lead on this?— Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) January 8, 2020
This probably won’t help the industry (or do anything to the fossil fuel companies):

Wait until she goes after their print editions:
None.
They don't plan to stop cutting trees. https://t.co/3f1K3dOSif— Master Obi (@VoraSourabh) January 8, 2020
