People from every generation have looked back on the era when they grew up with fondness. I do too. Yet my feeling is now tinged with melancholy that the youth of today are growing up in a far more difficult world. Julian LennonComplexity is everywhere. The environment is threatened. This week, for example, we learned from a UN science policy report -- written by 145 experts from 50 countries -- that one million of the planet's eight million species are threatened with extinction by humans. It is the most comprehensive assessment of global nature loss ever, they said.
Skipping school to protest climate change 07:30In nature, we feel more alive. We realize that we are part of something bigger than ourselves -- something good, something kind, something loving. All young people need this.I was inspired to write my trilogy of children's books so that parents could share a love of nature and our environment with their children. It's so important to instill these values in our young. I believe when you love something, you naturally want to care for it.
This generation's children will be the next adult keepers of our precious Mother Earth. We must embolden and empower them to be prepared for the fight. In the end, environmental concerns are intertwined with humanitarian and geographic concerns. As I wrote in"Love The Earth,""We are one all one people: Humanity. We have one home: Planet Earth." I believe that we're all one.Under the sky, under the sun.Children connected till the struggle is done.
