In 2050, I will still be fighting against climate change. I feel that it’s not only my duty, but rather my destiny.

You both know I have made it my mission to get people to understand more about the state of our planet‘s climate and what was at stake.

I know it’s long past time to wake up. You deserve a future in which drought, famine, and war are not all your children ever know; the choices my generation makes now will determine your future.

The world is changing and it is happening fast.

I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.

My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.

As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.

I promise to be a knight in the campaign of truth seeking.

My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.

I will fight for this cause and I will never ever give up because we, the youngsters, are the hope.

While I will work my hardest to create any positive change I can, you must continue this quest. You cannot give up hope, and you must always remember that the beauty on this Earth is worth saving.
