Charlotte Fleming's Letter

Dear Planet Earth,

This is a heartfelt apology that the human species has not looked after you, despite knowing for over 50 years that we were destroying biodiversity. I think it is because of human greed, arrogance and ignorance and political arrangements that rely on greedy votes to stay in power. It seems we are heading for catastrophe for all species and we still have our foot on the accelerator. We know what we need to do. I sincerely hope that politicians at COP27 will commit to put the break on, and see their pledges through in their home nations. I sincerely hope that leaders that are not attending COP27 will be able to act similarly.

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