Debbie Stansfield's Letter

To my granddaughter Ruby ,

I just want to say sorry for the damage we have caused to this awesome earth. Sorry for buying stuff I didn't need, sorry for everything I wasted, sorry for all the selfishness and greed and especially sorry for leaving the mess your generation will have to clean up. Learn from the mistakes of my generation sweetheart, cherish and care for this beautiful world , it truly is a wonderful world. I know that with love and care your generation will make amends for mine and restore our world to all its natural glory. You are our hope, our future, save our planet.
