There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.

Dear Matthew, Sam, and Sophie,

You are growing up in a world of increasing environmental crisis. My hope for 2050 is that squandering of non-renewable resources will be at an end, that species will not become extinct, that, as the climate warms, you and your pals will find ways of living with it and thriving in it. There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same. With love, Granny
