Thunberg has just celebrated her 17th birthday. The environmental activist spent her special day participating in a school strike to pressure the government into making the changes necessary to fight climate change. Thunberg does this every Friday.

To celebrate Greta turning 17, Patti Smith wrote a poem in tribute to the activist. She shared the poem on her Instagram beside a photo of the young icon.

The poem reads:

“This is
Greta Thunberg, turning
seventeen today, asking
for no accolade, no gifts,
save we not be neutral.
The Earth knows its kind,
just as all deities, just as
animals and the healing
spring. Happy birthday
to Greta, who stood today,
as every Friday, refusing
to be neutral.”

Pati Smith is one of the many artists who has spoken out in support of Greta Thunberg and her environmental cause. Billie Eilish also recently spoke out praising Greta and declaring herself a supporter of the case.

After cryptically teasing the track Tuesday, the band’s first track from the band’s forthcoming album Notes on a Conditional Form and it features. Per Rolling Stone marks the launch of a 28-day countdown to the first single, which will premiere a day before they headline Reading Festival.

The track opens with a moving speed by the young climate activist, over a minimalistic piano track. The monologue about the current climate crisis has her saying “we must acknowledge that we do not have the situation under control and that we do not have all the solutions yet” and “to do your best is no longer good enough.” Much of the audio comes from Thunberg’s 2018 speech at the World Economic Forum.

The band’s last album was 2018’s A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships. There’s still no official release date for Notes on a Conditional Form.
