We will not understand it until it’s too late. And yet we are the lucky ones. Those who will be affected the hardest are already suffering the consequences. But their voices are not heard. Is my microphone on? Can you hear me?”

“We have not taken to the streets for you to take selfies with us, and tell us that you really admire what we do. We children are doing this to wake the adults up.

“Polvere sei e in polvere ritornerai, diciamo. Tutto ciò che una volta ha avuto vita riposerà nella terra, diciamo. Poi qualcuno ha scoperto un sacco di petrolio e il riposo della terra è finito. Abbiamo creato una società costruita sull'idea di dissotterrare i resti fossili della vita per poi, appena possibile, bruciarli nell'atmosfera altamente sensibile del pianeta.”
