I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.

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.

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

As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.

We ran through the woods laughing, crying, and living.

I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.

I don’t wish to go backwards, but I do wish we would slow down and design our brave new world with more care.

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.

I wish you all the best and always make sure that you can be proud of yourself and don’t need status-symbols for feeling nice.

Thank you for reading. Do your part to save the globe.
