Portrait of Mr. Squiggles

Greetings and salutations, I am Mr. Squiggles, the world’s most environmentally conscious hamster! I belong to the unique species of grey dwarf hamsters, or as the scientific community refers to us, nothocricetulus migratorius. I am a tiny creature with a big purpose (and big boba-shaped eyes), I have a deep and passionate connection to the natural world. As the beloved pet of the world-renowned Swedish environmental activist, Greta Thunberg, my life is a testament to the importance of environmental conservation. This incredible bond has shaped my perspective on the world, teaching me about the critical importance of preserving our precious natural resources. From a young age, Greta has instilled in me a profound respect for our one and only Earth. She has nurtured my understanding of the human impact on the environment and encouraged me to use my voice to advocate for sustainable practices. Together, we strive to inspire others to join us in this important mission. Trash of the Week is only one part of my contributions to help the planet!
