Helen McInnes's Letter

To my Great Grandchildren,

I hope when you are old enough to appreciate this wonderful world (as I know it) and in which you ought to be living, that you will be able to enjoy life without worrying about changing weather patterns, sea levels rising and hearing of the unimaginable storms that have plagued many of the foreign countries recently.

Everyone must make sacrifices and learn to respect the advice of those who understand what the terrible consequences will be if we are selfish and continue as we are.

May common sense and generosity of spirit guide the world towards healing the damage we have caused.

Letters to Tomorrow, like this one, will help persuade politicians to stop stalling and put climate change on their agenda every day.
