I totally agree with Prince Ea I can't even believe how much all humans have ignored this MASSIVE problem, it has made me realise a lot, I'm gonna recommend this to my teacher to show to the class, thanks Prince Ea for reminding me that earth matters a lot more than you think, and that you shouldn't put greed over need !

Dear future generations, I think I speak for the rest of us when I say sorry. Sorry we left you with our massive a Planet. Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings, to do something. Sorry we listened to people who made excuses, to do nothing. I hope you forgive us, we just didn’t realize how special the earth was, like a marriage going wrong, we didn’t know what we had until it was gone. For example, I am guessing you probably know what is the l’Amazon Desert right, right? Well believe it or not, it was once called the Amazon Rain Forest, and there were billions of trees there, and all of them gorgeous and… Oh, you don’t know much about trees, do you? Well let me tell you that trees are amazing I mean we literally breath the air they are creating, they clean up our pollution or carbon, they store and purify water, give us medicine that cures our diseases, food that feeds us which is why I am so sorry to tell you that, we burned them down. Cut them down with brutal machines, horrific, at a rate of 40 football fields every minute, 50 percent of all the trees in the world gone in the last 100 years. Why? For this (showing money). And that wouldn’t make so sad, if there weren’t so many pictures of leaves on it. You know when I was a child, I read how the Native Americans had such consideration, for the planet that felt responsible, for how they left the land for the next 7 generations which brings me great sorrow, because most of us today, don’t even care about tomorrow. So I am so sorry that we put profit above people, greed above need, rule of gold above the golden rule I am sorry we used nature as a credit card with no spending limits. Over drafting animals to extinction, stealing your chance to ever see their uniqueness, or become friends with them. Sorry we poison the ocean so much that you can’t even swim in them. But most of all, I am sorry about our mindset, cause we had the nerve to call this destruction, progress. Hey Fox News, if you don’t think climate change is a threat. I dare you to interview the thousands of homeless people in Bangladesh, see while you was in your penthouse nestled, their homes were literally washed away beneath their feet due to the rising see levels. Sarah Palin, you said that you love the smell of fossil fuels, well I urge you to talk to the kids of Beijing who are forced wear pollution masks just to go school. You see you can ignore this, but the thing about truth is it can be denied, not avoided. So I am sorry future generations, I am sorry that our foot sprints became a sinkhole and not a garden. I am sorry that we paid so much attention to ISIS, and very little how fast the ice is melting in the attic. I am sorry we doomed you and I am sorry we didn’t find another planet in time to move to. I am s… You know what, cut the beat, I am not sorry. This future I do not accept it, because an error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We can redirect this, how? Let me suggest that if a farmer sees a tree that is unhealthy, they don’t look at the branches to diagnosis it, they look at the root. So like that farmer, we must look at the root and not to the branches of the gouvernements, not to the politicians run by corporations. We are the root. We are the foundation, this generation, it is up to us to take care of this planet. It is our only home, we must globally warm our hearts and change the climate of our souls and realize that we are not apart from nature, we are a part of nature. And to betray nature is to betray us, to save nature is to save us. Because whatever you are fighting for: racism, poverty, feminism, gay rights or any type of equality it won’t matter in the least, because if we don’t all work together to save the environnement, we will be equally extinct. Sorry.

[jenileenhari]

Thank you God for everything that you have done for us
Bu, t I'm crying what he's saying
Because what is he saying is true

[rominacapriati]

Prince, I get emotional when I watch this video. Gonna work on this with my classes :) thank you

[unstablearts]

I wish you were my science teacher so you can tell my class to realize

[agostinhosadjamane]

This is gold he literaly spoke.the truth this is out planet guys lets look after it propaly please

[Mia-lttv]

More people need to notice this. Most people are like this and we need to realise that what we are doing is wrong. Every single one of us could help to make a change. Instead we just sit there and WATCH. Honestly I'm disgusted in my behaviour. We need to stand up to this issue and make a difference. We need to spread the word. Everybody

[marjorienicole]

so my science teacher assigned to watch this and I really didn’t want to but I’m glad she told us too cause this made so many good points this is amazing

[ryanmatias]

Earth:Hey mars
Mars:wut?
Earth:can people live on your planet ?
Mars:No...
Earth:Your DEAD

No happy ending xD

[mukhammadali]

I agree with you very much, but we have to do the result, we have to achieve that not only tall in our mouths

[RowinEixab]

A friend of mine accept to make a song with this great piece and willing to acknowledge Prince EA
