Dear Abuelita,
Draga bako,
00:15
I know I haven't been home for a while.
znam da nisam dugo bila doma.
00:17
You are in our lovely home in Mexico,
Ti si u svome divnome domu u Meksiku,
00:19
and I'm here in the US,
a ja sam u SAD-u,
00:22
fighting for our future.
borim se za našu budućnost.
00:23
You're probably watering the roses,
Vjerojatno zalijevaš ruže,
00:26
taking care of the peaches
brineš se o našim breskvama
00:28
and making sure your turtles are well-fed.
i paziš da su kornjače nahranjene.
00:31
That's one of the things
I miss the most about home --
To je ono što mi najviše nedostaje --
00:34
spending time with the flowers
druženje sa cvijećem
00:36
while you tell me stories
about your childhood.
dok mi ti pričaš priče iz djetinjstva.
00:40
As you know, we have been living
in New York City since 2015.
Kao što znaš, živimo u New Yorku od 2015.
00:44
But life has completely changed
over the past year.
Ali život se potpuno promijenio
posljednjih godinu dana.
00:48
At first, New York City was about museums
Isprva, New York je bio o muzejima
00:51
and parks
i parkovima
00:52
and school and friends.
i školi i prijateljima.
00:54
Now it serves as a web
Sada služi kao mreža
00:57
that connects me with all the other people
koja me spaja sa svim ostalim ljudima
00:59
who are organizing to save the planet.
koji se organiziraju
kako bi spasili planet.
01:02
You know how it started for me?
Znaš kako je to počelo za mene?
01:04
It was Dad and his wisdom.
Zbog tate i njegove mudrosti.
01:07
Everything you taught him,
he went and taught the world.
Sve što si ga naučila,
on je naučio svijet.
01:11
All of his words about
the responsibility that we have as humans
Sve njegove riječi o odgovornosti
koju imamo kao ljudi,
01:16
to live in balance with nature
da bismo živjeli u ravnoteži s prirodom,
01:18
were passed down to me.
prenesene su na mene.
01:20
I noticed the universal
disconnect to our planet
Primijetila sam univerzalnu
nepovezanost s našim planetom
01:24
and remembered what you once told me:
i sjetila se onoga što si mi jednom rekla:
01:26
"Leave everything better
than you found it."
"Ostavi sve bolje nego što si pronašla."
01:30
I know you were talking about the dishes,
Znam da si pričala o suđu,
01:33
but of course, that applies
to the planet as well.
ali, naravno, to se može
također odnositi i na planet.
01:36
I didn't know what to do at first.
Isprva nisam znala što činiti.
01:39
The world is so big,
Svijet je tako velik
01:40
and it has so many bad habits.
i ima toliko loših navika.
01:42
I didn't know how a 15-year-old
was supposed to change anything,
Nisam znala kako bi 15-ogodišnjakinja
trebala promijeniti bilo što,
01:47
but I had to try.
ali morala sam pokušati.
01:49
To put this philosophy into practice,
Da ovu filozofiju pretvorim u praksu,
01:51
I joined the environmental club
at my high school.
pridružila sam se ekološkom klubu
u srednjoj školi.
01:53
However, I noticed that my classmates
were talking about recycling
Međutim, primijetila sam da
učenici pričaju o recikliranju
01:58
and watching movies about the ocean.
i gledaju filmove o oceanu.
02:00
It was a view of environmentalism
To je bio odnos prema zaštiti okoliša
02:03
that was so catered towards
an ineffective way of climate activism,
koji je jako neučinkovit način
klimatskog aktivizma.
02:07
one that blames the consumer
for the climate crisis
Onaj koji krivi potrošača
za klimatsku krizu
02:11
and preaches that
temperatures are going up
i govori da se temperature podižu
02:13
because we forgot to bring
a reusable bag to the store.
zato što nismo ponijeli u trgovinu
vreću za višekratnu uporabu.
02:17
You taught me that taking care
of Mother Earth
Ti si me naučila da briga o Majci Zemlji
02:20
is about every decision
that we make as a collective.
znači svaku odluku koju skupa donosimo.
02:25
I am happy to tell you, Abuelita,
Drago mi je što ti mogu reći, bako,
02:27
that I changed everybody's
mind in that club.
da sam promijenila
mišljenja svima u tom klubu.
02:30
Instead of talking about recycling,
Umjesto pričanja o recikliranju,
02:32
we started to write letters
to our politicians
počeli smo pisati pisma političarima
02:35
to ban soft plastic altogether.
da zabrane meku plastiku.
02:38
And then, the unexpected happened:
A onda se dogodilo neočekivano:
02:41
we started striking from school.
počeli smo štrajkati u školi.
02:45
I know you've probably
seen it on the news,
Znam da si to vidjela na vijestima
02:47
and maybe it's not that special anymore.
i možda to više nije tako posebno.
02:50
But at the time,
it was a huge deal, Abuelita.
Ali tada je to bila velika stvar, bako.
02:53
Imagine kids not going to school,
because we want people to save the world.
Zamisli djecu koja ne idu u školu
da bi potakli ljude da spase svijet.
02:58
(Video) Crowd: Another world
is possible! We are unstoppable!
[Drukčiji svijet je moguć!
Mi smo nezaustavljivi!]
03:00
Xiye Bastida: For the first
global climate strike,
Za prvi globalni štrajk
protiv klimatskih promjena,
03:03
which was called on by Greta Thunberg,
koji je započela Greta Thunberg,
03:05
I got 600 of my classmates
to walk out with me.
nagovorila sam 600 učenika
da prosvjeduju sa mnom.
03:10
Greta Thunberg is a teenager
who first started striking for climate.
Greta Thunberg je tinejdžerica
koja je prva počela štrajkati.
03:14
Her boldness inspired me,
Njena odvažnost me nadahnula
03:16
and I was shocked by the realization
te me šokirala spoznaja
03:19
that youth could turn
public opinion on social issues.
da mladi mogu promijeniti javno
mišljenje o društvenim problemima.
03:24
The movement exploded.
Pokret je buknuo.
03:25
(Video) Crowd: Shut it down!
[Zaustavite to!]
03:26
XB: And I became
one of the main organizers
Ja sam postala glavna organizatorica
03:28
for New York, the US and the world.
u New Yorku, u SAD-u i u svijetu.
03:31
(Video) XB: What do we want?
Crowd: Climate justice!
[Što želimo? -Klimatsku pravdu!]
[Kad je želimo? -Sad!]
03:33
XB: When do we want it?
Crowd: Now!
Počela sam govoriti o pravdi
za klimu, autohtonim pravima
03:35
XB: I started speaking up about
climate justice and Indigenous rights
i međugeneracijskoj suradnji.
03:38
and intergenerational cooperation.
03:40
That was only the beginning, though.
Ali to je bio samo početak.
03:43
The busiest week of my life
Najaktivniji tjedan mog života
03:44
will forever be the week
of September 20, 2019.
zauvijek će biti tjedan 20. rujna 2019.
03:49
Me and my friends got 300,000 people
to strike for climate in New York.
Ja i prijatelji smo skupili 300 000 ljudi
na štrajku za klimu u New Yorku.
03:56
I wish you could have been there.
Da si barem mogla biti tamo.
03:57
We walked through Wall Street,
demanding climate justice.
Šetali smo ulicom Wall Street,
tražeći pravdu za klimu.
04:00
(Video) Crowd: No more coal, no more oil,
keep the carbon in the soil!
[Manje ugljena, manje nafte,
ostavite ugljik u zemlji!]
Taj isti mjesec, otišla sam na
UN-ov klimatski sastanak.
04:03
XB: That same month, I went
to the United Nations Climate Summit.
04:07
I spoke on a panel with Al Gore.
Pričala sam na panelu s Alom Goreom.
04:09
I met Jay Inslee and Naomi Klein
and Bill McKibben
Upoznala sam Jayja Insleeja,
Naomi Klein, Billa McKibbena
04:13
and the president of the United Nations.
i predsjednicu Ujedinjenih Naroda.
04:16
It was the most amazing week of my life,
To je bio najbolji tjedan u mom životu
04:19
because everyone I knew came together --
jer su se udružili svi koje znam --
04:22
all my teachers, all my classmates ...
svi profesori, svi učenici...
04:24
And even some of my favorite stores
closed down to strike for climate.
Čak su se i moje najdraže trgovine
zatvorile da bi podržale štrajk.
04:30
If you had asked me why I did all of that,
Da si me pitala zašto sam to sve učinila,
04:33
my only answer would be,
rekla bih samo
04:35
"How could I not?"
"Kako da to propustim?"
04:37
It's been one year
since it all started for me,
Prošla je jedna godina otkad
je ovo sve počelo za mene
04:41
and it gets a little tiring at times.
i ponekad postane iscrpljujuće.
04:43
But if there is one thing
that you taught me, it's resilience.
Ako postoji jedna stvar koju si
me naučila, to bi bila otpornost.
04:47
I remember that you went to Mexico City
every day for 30 years
Sjećam se da si išla u Ciudad de México
svaki dan proteklih 30 godina
04:52
to get money for the family.
da bi zaradila novac za obitelj.
04:54
And I know that Abuelito
has been going out for 20 years
Znam da je djed dvadeset godina
odlazio svakog dana
04:58
to protect sacred land from big companies
that want to take it.
da bi zaštitio svetu zemlju od velikih
kompanija koje ju žele uzeti.
05:02
A year is nothing
Godina dana je ništa
05:03
compared to the struggles
that our family has been through.
u usporedbi s mukama
koje je naša obitelj prošla.
05:06
And if our struggles
make the world a better place,
Ako naše muke čine svijet boljim mjestom,
05:10
they will make us better people.
učinit će nas boljim ljudima.
05:12
There have been some hardships, Abuelita.
Bilo je i nekih nedaća, bako.
05:15
Out there in the world,
Tamo u svijetu
05:16
people expect us kids to know everything,
ljudi očekuju od nas mladih da sve znamo,
05:19
or at least they want us to.
ili barem to žele.
05:21
They ask questions and I give answers,
Oni postavljaju pitanja, a ja odgovaram
05:24
as if I really knew how the world works.
kao da znam kako svijet funkcionira.
05:26
They want hope, and we give it.
Oni žele nadu, a mi im je dajemo.
05:30
I have organized, written, spoken
and read about climate and policy
Organizirala sam, pisala,
govorila i čitala o klimi i politici
05:35
almost every day for the past year.
gotovo svaki dan posljednjih godinu dana.
05:39
And I'm just a little worried
Malo sam zabrinuta
05:40
that I won't be able
to do enough, Abuelita.
da neću moći učiniti dovoljno, bako.
05:44
For me, being 18 years old
and trying to save the world
Za mene, imati 18 godina
i pokušavati spasiti svijet
05:48
means being a climate activist.
znači biti klimatski aktivist.
05:50
Before, maybe it meant
studying to be a doctor
Prije, to je možda značilo
učiti da postanem liječnica
05:53
or a politician or a researcher.
ili političarka ili istraživačica.
05:55
But I can't wait to grow up
and become one of those things.
Jedva čekam da odrastem
i postanem nešto od toga.
05:59
The planet is suffering,
Planet je na mukama
06:01
and we don't have the luxury
of time anymore.
i više nemamo luksuz vremena.
06:05
Saving the world as a teenager
means being good with words,
Spašavanje planeta dok si tinejdžer
znači biti dobar s riječima,
06:09
understanding the science
behind the climate crisis,
razumjeti znanost klimatske krize,
06:12
bringing a unique perspective
into the issue to stand out
donositi jedinstvenu
perspektivu da bi se istakli
06:15
and forgetting about
almost everything else.
i zaboraviti gotovo sve ostalo.
06:19
But sometimes, I want to care
about other things again.
Ali ponekad, želim iznova
brinuti o drugim stvarima.
06:22
I want to be able to sing
and dance and do gymnastics.
Želim pjevati, plesati
i baviti se gimnastikom.
06:26
I truly feel that if all of us
took care of the Earth
Uvjerena sam da ako se svi
potrudimo brinuti o Zemlji
06:30
as a practice,
u praksi,
06:31
as a culture,
u kulturi,
06:33
none of us would have to be
full-time climate activists.
nitko od nas ne bi trebao biti
klimatski aktivist na puno radno vrijeme.
06:37
When businesses turn sustainable,
Kada poduzeća postanu održiva,
06:39
when the power grid
runs on renewable energy,
kada energetska mreža bude
koristila obnovljivu energiju,
06:42
when the school curriculum teaches us
kada nas školski kurikulum nauči
06:45
that taking care of the Earth
is part of our humanity,
da je briga o Zemlji dio naše ljudskosti,
06:50
maybe I can do gymnastics once again.
možda se ponovno budem
mogla baviti gimnastikom.
06:52
Don't you think so, Abuelita?
Zar ne misliš tako, bako?
06:54
We can do this.
Mi to možemo.
06:56
All I'm trying to do with my work
Sve što želim postići ovim radom
06:58
is give that optimistic mindset
to other people.
je dati ljudima optimističan
pogled na svijet.
07:01
But it's been a little hard.
Ali to je dosta teško.
07:03
There is greed,
Postoji pohlepa,
07:05
there's pride,
postoji ponos,
07:06
there's money,
postoji novac,
07:07
and there's materialism.
a postoji i materijalizam.
07:09
People make it so easy
for me to talk to them,
S ljudima jako lako razgovaram,
07:12
but they make it so hard
for me to teach them.
ali jako mi je teško podučiti ih.
07:16
I want them to have the confidence
to always do their best.
Želim da imaju dovoljno
samopouzdanja da daju sve od sebe.
07:20
I want them to have
the heart and the courage
Želim da imaju srca i hrabrosti
07:22
to love the world,
da vole svijet,
07:24
just like you taught me.
baš kao što si me ti naučila.
07:26
I wrote this letter to thank you.
Napisala sam ti pismo da ti se zahvalim.
07:28
Thank you for inviting me
to love the world
Hvala ti što si me pozvala da volim svijet
07:31
since the moment I was born.
od trenutka kada sam se rodila.
07:33
Thank you for laughing at everything.
Hvala ti što se svemu smiješ.
07:35
Thank you for teaching me
Hvala ti što si me naučila
07:37
that hope and optimism
are the most powerful tools we have
da su nada i optimizam
najmoćniji alati koje imamo
07:41
to tackle any problem.
za rješavanje svih problema.
07:43
I do this work because you showed me
Radim ovo zato što si mi pokazala
07:46
that resilience, love and knowledge
da su otpornost, ljubav i znanje
07:48
are enough to make a difference.
dovoljni da naprave razliku.
07:51
I want to go back to Mexico and visit you.
Želim se vratiti u Meksiko i posjetiti te.
07:53
I want to show you the pictures
of the things that I have done.
Želim ti pokazati slike
svega što sam napravila.
07:57
I want to show you the climate legislation
Želim ti pokazati zakon o klimi
07:59
that we've been able to pass.
koji smo uspjeli provesti.
08:01
I want to smell the flowers
Želim mirisati cvijeće
08:02
and fight for climate justice
alongside you.
i boriti se za klimatsku
pravdu pokraj tebe.
08:06
Te quiero mucho.
Puno te volim.
08:07
I love you.
Volim te.
08:08
Xiye.
Tvoja, Xiye.
08:10
[Te quiero mucho. Xiye.]
[Puno te volim, Xiye.]
