To future generations,

I am so sorry that there were so many people in the world that didn’t believe that climate change was real. Unfortunately, you inherited a world very different from the one I was born in. There were plenty of scientists that warned us about what was coming, and many grassroots movements that tried to make changes to stop the world from going past the tipping point. Based on news stories I read today, it appears we have reached that point, and not enough governments and/or people willing to make changes that would back away from the tipping point.

I just want to say that I’m so sorry

Dear tomorrow,

If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.

Dear Grandchildren,

So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.
