I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.

As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.

I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.

Here’s the biggest secret: I KNOW it will have. We may not realize how, but we have changed the world.

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

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.

I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.

As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.

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