          “     Coming from a tropical country, I know how damaging storms and droughts




                can be. When climate change keeps its pace, or worse - speeds up, then we
                will break record after record of severe weather, not only in the tropics but

                anywhere in the world, within our generation. It is time to stop this deadly
                trend, it is in our favour to take important steps now.                  “
















                                                             Ella, 18




         “     Today we tend to take so many things for granted and climate change                              “




               doesn’t coincide with that attitude. It’s time we do something about that!

          “    Climate and debt. The green teaches us that the past generations act




               destructively. They take possession of their possessions and return

               them in rubbish. As with borrowing a good, we make debts. It will be
               someday a huge debt, that we’ll pay for this with our lives. That is why
               the new generation must do it better.                “
