I hope my kids can experience the seasons and a climate that's sustainable. The idea that things are going to be so very different for them is slightly scary.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster.
I wish we could launch a ground-breaking competition that motivates kids to invent new ideas in sustainable living.
Climate change is the central environmental ill of our time. We have an obligation to protect our children from the dangers of this widening scourge, and we aren't yet doing enough about it.
I felt cheated by the way grown-ups told me that the future of the world was bleak when I became a teenager in the 1970s. The pollution explosion was unstoppable. Global famine was inevitable. I genuinely want the next generation, my own kids, to know that actually it's possible that the future might be better than the past.
I care about climate change because of our children. I want to safeguard their future.
I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles, but that shouldn't be one for kids - is the worry that 'my parents wont be there.'
I think that its easy to think of the environment as all doom and gloom and that, 'What can we do, it's too late. And the polar bears are gone, and everything is gone.' But really, just the little steps that we can make as individuals make a big difference.
Climate change is a very real threat right now to our economy, the future of our children, to our way of life.
I hope to be scaring children for the rest of my life.
Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.
