Dear future human,

I am sorry that we have handed the world over to you in the state that it is in. It’s not my generation’s fault, we have been trying to reverse the changes. I sit here from the perspective of a young person losing hope. In my 19 years of life I have watched racism, systematic oppression, greed, and a disregard for the earth’s living things and the way it has affected our society. I want to hope that you are living in a better society, but I honestly don’t know. I do know that my individual actions are working to create a better future for everyone. Despite feeling powerless I know that one person can make a difference.
