我知道我有一段時間沒回家了。

and making sure your turtles are well-fed.

That's one of the things I miss the most about home --

那些都是我最想念家的地方——

while you tell me stories about your childhood.

As you know, we have been living in New York City since 2015.

But life has completely changed over the past year.

就像你知道的，我們從 2015 年 就住在紐約市了。

At first, New York City was about museums

原本的紐約市對我來說 就是參觀博物館、

that connects me with all the other people

現在的紐約市對我來說是一個網絡，

連結了我和其他組織 起來拯救地球的人。

Everything you taught him, he went and taught the world.

你教他的東西，他繼續教給了全世界。

All of his words about the responsibility that we have as humans

我們應與大自然達成一種平衡的責任。

我發現我們大家正在與地球脫節，

I noticed the universal disconnect to our planet

「你碰過的東西要比原先的還要好。」

"Leave everything better than you found it."

I know you were talking about the dishes,

但這句話當然也適用於我們的星球。

but of course, that applies to the planet as well.

我不知道一個 15 歲的人 能改變什麼，

I didn't know how a 15-year-old was supposed to change anything,

I joined the environmental club at my high school.

但我發現我的同學只是談談回收、

However, I noticed that my classmates were talking about recycling

這樣的環境保護觀點 不過是對氣候行動主義的交差了事，

就像將氣候危機的責任 轉嫁到消費者身上，

that was so catered towards an ineffective way of climate activism,

宣稱氣溫會上升 是因為我們忘了帶購物袋。

one that blames the consumer for the climate crisis

你教過我，我們所屬群體 所做的每一個決定，

and preaches that temperatures are going up

都和照顧我們的地球息息相關。

because we forgot to bring a reusable bag to the store.

You taught me that taking care of Mother Earth

is about every decision that we make as a collective.

that I changed everybody's mind in that club.

敦促他們全面禁止使用軟質塑料。

we started to write letters to our politicians

我猜你可能已經在新聞上看過，

可能這也已經不是什麼新鮮事，

但阿嬤，這在當時可是大事一件啊！

I know you've probably seen it on the news,

想想看孩子們不去上學， 是為了要呼籲大家拯救世界。

（影片）群眾：新世界是有可能的！ 沒有什麼能阻止我們！

But at the time, it was a huge deal, Abuelita.

西野．巴斯蒂達： 在第一次由格雷塔·通貝里

Imagine kids not going to school, because we want people to save the world.

(Video) Crowd: Another world is possible! We are unstoppable!

我找了 600 位同學跟我一起走上街頭。

Xiye Bastida: For the first global climate strike,

格雷塔·通貝里是第一位 為氣候抗爭的青少年，

I got 600 of my classmates to walk out with me.

看到青少年也能翻轉 大眾對於社會議題的看法，

Greta Thunberg is a teenager who first started striking for climate.

that youth could turn public opinion on social issues.

美國及全球的主要籌畫者之一。

（影片）西：我們要什麼？ 群眾：氣候正義！

XB: And I became one of the main organizers

西：我們什麼時候要？ 群眾：現在就要！

(Video) XB: What do we want? Crowd: Climate justice!

原住民權益及跨世代之間的合作，

XB: I started speaking up about climate justice and Indigenous rights

我這一生最忙碌的一個禮拜 絕對是 2019 年 9 月 20 號那週。

我和朋友策動了三十萬人 上紐約街頭，為氣候抗爭。

我們走過華爾街，要求氣候正義。

will forever be the week of September 20, 2019.

（影片）群眾：不要煤碳、 不要石油，讓碳回歸土壤！

Me and my friends got 300,000 people to strike for climate in New York.

西：同一個月， 我也去了聯合國氣候峰會，

We walked through Wall Street, demanding climate justice.

還遇見了傑伊．英斯利、 娜歐米．克萊因、

(Video) Crowd: No more coal, no more oil, keep the carbon in the soil!

比爾．麥奇本以及聯合國主席。

XB: That same month, I went to the United Nations Climate Summit.

因為所有我認識的人都團結起來——

I met Jay Inslee and Naomi Klein and Bill McKibben

甚至一些我喜歡的店家 也為了氣候抗爭而休息不做生意。

And even some of my favorite stores closed down to strike for climate.

If you had asked me why I did all of that,

It's been one year since it all started for me,

每天都去墨西哥城幫家裡掙錢；

But if there is one thing that you taught me, it's resilience.

都在保護聖地不要被財團奪取。

I remember that you went to Mexico City every day for 30 years

跟我們家經歷過的那些苦難相比，

And I know that Abuelito has been going out for 20 years

而且如果我們的拼搏 能讓這個世界更好，

to protect sacred land from big companies that want to take it.

阿嬤，這過程中還是有一些困難的。

compared to the struggles that our family has been through.
