H Robbins's Letter

To my children,

I am so sorry that we destroyed this beautiful planet.

You won't be able to see all the wonderful wildlife, majestic trees, ancient forests and clean oceans.
Instead you will be fighting heatwave after heatwave, flood after flood. You won't be able to afford much food.

This is our fault. And when we finally woke up and realised that things needed to change drastically and quickly our politicians were way too greedy and corrupt to implement these changes. They didn't seem to care about their own children and grandchildren. Lining their pockets with dirty money was too important to them.

I am so sorry we failed you.

Love,
Mum
