William Burnside's Letter

To my children: Angus, Niamh, Duncan and Aoife,

I am writing this letter because as I grow older I really worry about what the world will be like for you when you get to my age. I have been trying over the past few years to take more responsibility for my actions with regard to looking after the planet and hope that this might inspire you guys to try to do what you can too.

Love Dad
