« Humans are destroying the environment. We are on the verge of reaching a point of no return. We haven’t been borrowing our children’s future. We’ve been stealing it.

But I do have reasons for hope. There are reasons for hope.

After nearly six decades fighting for our environment, I’m still very much optimistic: young people of all ages involved in our Roots & Shoots programmes around the world have shown, and are showing, tremendous energy in tackling environmental and social problems, in righting the wrongs, in building a better future for all living things.

Together we can change the world. All we need is to imagine where we want to be… and take the first step in that direction.

Time Capsule is an opportunity to do just that: it’s not only about sending a message to future generations, it’s about standing up to imagine a future worth fighting for and taking action »
