Actor and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio has paid tribute to teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, describing her as a “leader of our time.”“There are few times in human history where voices are amplified at such pivotal moments and in such transformational ways,” DiCaprio wrote on Instagram Friday, following his first meeting with the 16-year-old from Sweden. “History will judge us for what we do today to help guarantee that future generations can enjoy the same livable planet that we have so clearly taken for granted,” said DiCaprio, who shared photographs of himself with the teen. “I hope that Greta’s message is a wake-up call to world leaders everywhere that the time for inaction is over,” he added. “It is because of Greta, and young activists everywhere that I am optimistic about what the future holds.”“It was an honor to spend time with Greta,” DiCaprio concluded. “She and I have made a commitment to support one another, in hopes of securing a brighter future for our planet.”Check out the post here:
