I’m a little bit in shock. My daughter’s school play is called The Trials. It’s about a dystopian future where, due to the global climate crisis they are forced to euthanize a portion of the population. Basically the younger generation put the older generation on trial and execute you, if you found guilty. My daughter basically told me I would likely be found guilty and executed. And I am a vegan who rides my bike to work. Its a bit sobering to think about.
Are you shocked about the play or her response? Tbh I think it is a great opportunity to discuss Climate Change, demographic change, human rights,... at school.
We did have some really interesting conversations now that you mention it. The thing that shocked me was the dawning fact that my whole generation will one day be held accountable for the mess we have made and we have no good excuses.
When you said "school play" I thought of one that 7 year olds would be in and I thought it was a bit morbid
