I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it. [1:03.000]And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day - vanishing forever. [1:10.000]In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist. [1:22.000]... [2:00.000]Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age? [2:05.000]All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. [2:14.000]... [2:34.000]Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying "everything's going to be alright', "it's not the end of the world" and, and "we're doing the best we can". [2:46.000]But I don't think you can say that to us anymore.
