Que vocês possam contar para seus filhos e netos que minha geração tomou consciência de sua responsabilidade e assumiu sua condição de natureza e a ela se reintegrou, com inteligência, interação respeitosa e solidariedade.

I also hope that your previous prayers have been answered. The way you wanted to create green jobs for your fellow city dwellers have been fulfilled already.

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

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.

Fortunately, you didn’t get injured while the wildfire burned your school.

We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.

I hope that by the time you’re reading this, things have changed and people have started to protect the earth

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).

I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.

I hope that when we look back on these years,  you’ll see that humanity can be good. That we joined together and fixed it because of we don’t, who will?
