Dear John,

2020 is about to dawn, and 2020 is going to have to be the year. The year
we see carbon emissions stop growing and start falling. The year we start
taking on the big banks that are funding the climate crisis.

Sometimes that prospect makes me tired. This autumn marked the 30th
anniversary of The End of Nature, my first book and also the first volume
about climate change for a general audience, (back then we called it the
greenhouse effect). So I've had plenty of time to fight and plenty of time
to become discouraged. When I look at the melting Arctic or hear about the
deadly heatwaves across the UK, I can lose heart.

But then I look at the movement we've all built together — a movement that
is cooler and deeper with each passing year. This fall's climate strikes
were a signal moment: millions in the streets, so many of them young
people. Their commitment is astounding — but it's not okay to take the
biggest problem the planet has ever faced and put it on the shoulders of
14-year-olds.

So we all need to do our part — and this time of year that can involve
giving some money, if you've reached the end of the year with some to
spare. 350 has become the biggest organization on earth whose only job is
fighting climate change. This year we've won historic battles from Brazil
to Ukraine to east Africa to Australia. And next year we've got to win
more.

fighting the fossil fuel industry around the world.

Have a peaceful holiday and rest up because we're going to call on you
next year — together we're going to cause some serious trouble!

With great thanks,
Bill McKibben, Founder 350.org
