Caro futuro,

è una sera come tante altre e mi ritrovo qui a pensare come sarai.

Ora ho “solo” 18 anni, ma effettivamente mi sono resa conto che il mondo così non può andare avanti, grazie alla scuola che frequento sto imparando tante cose sull’ambiente che mi circonda e spero di proseguire i miei studi in questo campo.. chissà magari avrò la “fortuna” di assistere e partecipare ad un cambiamento più pulito del mondo.

Mi sentirei un’ipocrita a dire che faccio molto, ma nel mio piccolo ci provo, a differenza di molti ragazzi della mia età.

Non lo so cosa aspettarmi da te, cerco sempre di non crearmi aspettative, godiamoci il momento e facciamo quello che possiamo e se sarà qualcosa di bello, la meraviglia può solo che aumentare.

Oltre ai problemi climatici, decisamente gravi (pensa che questo è l’inverno più secco da non so quanti anni), tutte queste guerre mi preoccupano davvero molto, per non parlare delle discriminazioni.

Spero tanto di ritrovarti “più pulito e pacifico”.

piccoli pensieri di una diciottenne vicentina,

Don’t stop looking for adventures.

Mankind has always been able to deal with the greatest challenges it’s faced and this will not be the exception. My message to you is: find that passion and give it your all. ‘Till your legs give out.

Dear Elliott,

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.
