Dear mom,

I hate that there is only one issue left concerning these people. Many solutions that are good for us Europeans are a huge problem for other people in developing countries.

That comes across as very selfish. I believe that if you want to change something, you should take care of the other people in the world. I believe that the way of tackling climate change in Germany good enough.

We do a lot of things, not all of them are practical and sometimes, I think they don’t take enough care for the people. They like to stop climate change, but some measures are expensive or simply stupid.

Often I think, for politicians, the international reputation of our country is more important than the people themselves.

To the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
