I am sorry that you won’t be able to see some other animals such as polar bears, dolphins and whales.

That we all have a role to play no matter how small, we all can make a difference.

I’m going to start a campaign to try to convince everybody in the Netherlands to not eat meat one day a week.

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

29 years later, I wish I still can ride bike and go some lovely places in nature. Sky is blue and air is fresh, I will be shining under the sun.

The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.

I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.

Talvez eu não esteja viva para ver alguma mudança, mas espero que vocês vejam e tenham um mundo melhor em 2050. Plantei um ipê rosa e outro amarelo, que eles estejam florindo até 2050.

I hope I can look you in the eye and tell you I honestly did everything I could to protect our planet.

I am so sorry we didn’t realize this predicament sooner.
