Most emissions aren't caused by individuals, they're caused by corporations and states.

When I was 11 I became very depressed. It had a lot to do with the climate and ecological crisis. I thought everything was just so wrong and nothing was happening and there's no point in anything.

I don't easily fall for lies, I can see through things.

I personally have stopped flying. I have stopped eating meat and dairy.

People tell me that they are so hopeful when they see me and other children 'school-striking,' and they say, 'Oh the children are going to save us.' But no, we aren't. We are too young to be able to do that. We don't have time to wait for us to grow up and fix this in the future.

I don't really like being in the centre of attention.

I'm very weak in a sense. I'm very tiny and I am very emotional, and that is not something people usually associate with strength.

The thing that's made me open my eyes to what was happening to the environment and climate was films and documentaries.

I don't fly because of the enormous climate impact of aviation per person.

I don't think I would be interested in the climate at all if I had been like everyone else.

Being young is a great advantage, since we see the world from a new perspective and we are not afraid to make radical changes.

When I was maybe eight or nine years old, I first learned about the climate crisis in school. My teachers taught me about it and we saw films and pictures of plastic in the ocean and extreme weather events. Those pictures were just stuck in my head; I thought, there is no point in anything.

So when I speak in front of thousands, tens of thousands of people, I don't really get nervous because I know what I want to say and I know what message I want to give.

I just know what is right and I want to do what is right.

I think that once you fully understand the climate and ecological emergencies, then you know what you can do as well. And, of course, there's a lot of things you can do in your everyday life, but we cannot be focusing on these individual things you can do. We have to see the full picture.

I'm not saying that people should stop flying. I'm just saying it needs to be easier to be climate neutral.

It felt like I was the only one who cared about the climate and the ecological crisis. My parents didn't care about it, my classmates didn't care about it, my relatives didn't care about this. I mean nobody I knew cared about this and I felt like I was the only one.

Life is short, and if we enjoy every moment of every day, then we will be happy no matter what happens or what changes along the way.

I'm so grateful for all the experiences I've had; the life lessons I've learned along the way are just completely invaluable.

I've learned that you have to make careful choices because everything has an impact. I've also learned that you can't please everyone in life, so please yourself and figure out what really matters.

I learned a few years ago that balance is the key to a happy and successful life, and a huge part of achieving that balance is to instill rituals into your everyday life - a nutritious balanced diet, daily exercise, time for yourself through meditation, reading, journaling, yoga, daily reflection, and setting goals.

I typically have breakfast, have a snack, have lunch, have a snack, and have dinner.

Your money is power, so be aware of the products you're buying and the companies you're supporting to make sure you're helping the companies that are leading the way in sustainability.

As long you are doing what you love and making decisions from the heart, you will be successful.

I think whenever you have any kind of injury or challenge, you just have to deal with it the best you can. You have to decide what's important to you and focus on getting back to where you want to be. And enjoy where you are and what your goals and dreams are and just give it 100 percent.

I've had cumulative concussions and realized that's something you carry with you.

When you choose to take the road less traveled, it can sometimes be a bumpy ride along the way, but if you're doing it for the right reasons, then the reward is so great.

Mt. Hood is still one of my favorites for its sun, warmth, and slushy, forgiving conditions.

With the new year comes a refueled motivation to improve on the past one.

I think everyone in snowboarding is close. We've become a big family. It's not a cutthroat sport. I'm competing against one of my best friends, and I think it's cool to be at the top of the half pipe, dropping in with your competitor but your best friend, too.

I have three brothers, and they were all snowboarders, and I always looked up to them. That's the reason I started snowboarding. I always wanted to be just as good as they were.

I partnered with Mission: it's a really cool company based on giving athletes what they need. I have my own signature lip balm because when I'm up on the hill, protecting your lips is so important.

I'm on the road a lot, but I eat healthy whenever I can with foods that don't contain pesticides.

Building up expectations, creating unrealistic time frames, feeling like our end goal is the end all, be all can all lead to frustration or anxiety. We end up feeling as though we have to power through what we want rather than enjoy the process and just let the result come as it may.

Walk, skateboard, bike, car pool, or use mass transit more, and drive less.

When I started snowboarding, I was looking for success to bring me identity. I still love to win, but at the same time, I don't need the X-Games to show me who I am.

As pro snowboarders, skiers, etc., we all know that what we do is risky.

I work out hard; that way, I can eat whatever I want. If you have a hard time regulating your diet, pushing yourself at the gym will help you keep the pounds off.

I'm a Midwestern girl; I was born in Toledo, Ohio, and grew up in Dayton until I was ten years old. Then my whole life changed.

When I win, I'm happy. When I lose, I'm also happy. I'm grateful for this life I have to live. It's a great life.

From day one, snowboarding led me down a totally different path, and it's that path that's kept me laughing and continually intrigued. I love the satisfaction at the end of the day of overcoming my fears, of spending all day outside working hard, and there's nothing better than the feeling of landing a new trick for the first time.

I love how snowboarding is like no other sport out there - I mean, some of my best friends are my biggest competitors. And we just cheer each other on. It's a very supportive sport.

More and more, companies are realizing the value of their female consumers, and that's showing up in the female-specific products they're making, their marketing strategies, and even the feel of their companies internally.

I get to experience so much in my life as I travel around, and it's just such a great way to get to share that with people. All these sites, like Twitter and Make It Pro, give me such a very strong way to interact with people. It's easy to let people be part of your life and to keep all of your friends and fans together.

It takes a village to earn a spot representing your country, and I know that every single person who helped me get to the Olympics was also touched by the dream. The web of inspiration is incredible. Because of this, I know that the core principles and spirit of what the Olympics stand for are worth protecting.

I remember being glued to the TV as I watched the Olympics as a kid. There was something so magical, almost otherworldly, about the Olympics. My favorite part was that moment right before it all started. The moment where the athlete would stand up ready to face whatever lay ahead.

Eliminate the energy vampires in your house. Connect all of your appliances to power strips and turn them off they're when not in use.

From any traumatic injury, you're going to experience a lack of confidence. There's a whole process you have to go through to break free of that.

When you're up on the hill, and you know you're as strong as you can be, you're more willing and able and confident to go and do bigger and harder and more technical tricks.

I care about the way I look, and I want to look my best. My regime isn't crazy. For my face, it's just sunscreen because foundations and tinted moisturizers rub against my neck warmer. But I do like eyeliner, mascara, and a little color on my lids.
