You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.

Your path will only be as clear tomorrow as we have made it for you today.

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.

I will do my part to help ensure that there is an Earth left when we are done borrowing it.

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).

My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.

There are so many more things that we can do together to help our Earth from the damage that has been done, and I am so excited to teach you.

If we work together to spread the awareness of what is occurring today, we will be able to prevent it from continuing into the tomorrow.

Quiero que puedas decirme que lo hemos logrado, y que el mundo hoy es un poquito mejor porque nosotras pusimos de nuestra parte.

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.
