Dear Abuelita,
0
13436
1643
Draga bako,
00:15
I know I haven't been home for a while.
1
15103
2254
znam da nisam bila dugo kod kuće.
00:17
You are in our lovely home in Mexico,
2
17381
2307
Ti si u našem divnom domu u Meksiku,
00:19
and I'm here in the US,
3
19712
2349
a ja sam ovde u SAD-u,
00:22
fighting for our future.
4
22085
1373
borim se za našu budućnost.
00:23
You're probably watering the roses,
5
23927
2372
Verovatno zalivaš ruže,
00:26
taking care of the peaches
6
26323
1848
brineš se o breskvama
00:28
and making sure your turtles are well-fed.
7
28195
2800
i staraš se da su kornjače nahranjene.
00:31
That's one of the things I miss the most about home --
8
31474
2785
To je nešto što mi najviše nedostaje -
00:34
spending time with the flowers
9
34283
1984
provođenje vreme okružena cvećem
00:36
while you tell me stories about your childhood.
10
36291
2482
dok mi pričaš o svom detinjstvu.
00:40
As you know, we have been living in New York City since 2015.
11
40004
3984
Kao što znaš, živimo u Njujorku od 2015.
00:44
But life has completely changed over the past year.
12
44385
3349
Ali život se drastično promenio u poslednjih godinu dana.
00:48
At first, New York City was about museums
13
48243
3318
U početku, Njujork se vrteo oko muzeja
00:51
and parks
14
51585
1198
i parkova
00:52
and school and friends.
15
52807
1680
i škole i prijatelja.
00:54
Now it serves as a web
16
54830
2563
Sada služi kao mreža
00:57
that connects me with all the other people
17
57417
2256
koja me povezuje sa svim ostalim ljudima
00:59
who are organizing to save the planet.
18
59697
2199
koji se spremaju da spase planetu.
01:02
You know how it started for me?
19
62790
2167
Znaš kako je sve počelo?
01:04
It was Dad and his wisdom.
20
64981
1904
Sa tatom i njegovom mudrošću.
01:07
Everything you taught him, he went and taught the world.
21
67950
3587
Sve što si ga naučila, on je zatim naučio svet.
01:11
All of his words about the responsibility that we have as humans
22
71561
4889
Sve njegove reči o odgovornosti koju imamo kao ljudi
01:16
to live in balance with nature
23
76474
2040
da živimo skladu u sa prirodom
01:18
were passed down to me.
24
78538
1568
su prenete na mene.
01:20
I noticed the universal disconnect to our planet
25
80585
3406
Primetila sam univerzalni rascep od naše planete
01:24
and remembered what you once told me:
26
84015
2864
i setila se šta si mi jednom rekla:
01:26
"Leave everything better than you found it."
27
86903
2866
"Ostavi sve bolje nego što si pronašla."
01:30
I know you were talking about the dishes,
28
90625
3025
Znam da si pričala o prljavom posuđu,
01:33
but of course, that applies to the planet as well.
29
93674
2773
ali to se, naravno, odnosi i na planetu.
01:36
I didn't know what to do at first.
30
96967
1886
Nisam znala šta da radim u početku.
01:39
The world is so big,
31
99198
1316
Svet je toliko velik
01:40
and it has so many bad habits.
32
100538
2206
i ima toliko mnogo loših navika.
01:42
I didn't know how a 15-year-old was supposed to change anything,
33
102768
4317
Nisam znala kako bi petnaestogodišnjakinja trebalo da promeni bilo šta,
01:47
but I had to try.
34
107109
1293
ali morala sam da pokušam.
01:49
To put this philosophy into practice,
35
109181
2136
Kako bih pretvorila ovu ideju u stvarnost,
01:51
I joined the environmental club at my high school.
36
111341
2554
pridružila sam se ekološkoj sekciji u srednjoj školi.
01:53
However, I noticed that my classmates were talking about recycling
37
113919
4669
Međutim, primetila sam da učenici pričaju o reciklaži
01:58
and watching movies about the ocean.
38
118612
1897
i gledaju filmove o okeanu.
02:00
It was a view of environmentalism
39
120947
2415
Bio je to ekološko stanovište
02:03
that was so catered towards an ineffective way of climate activism,
40
123386
4453
usmereno na neefikasan način klimatskog aktivizma,
02:07
one that blames the consumer for the climate crisis
41
127863
3416
ono koje krivi potrošača za klimatsku krizu
02:11
and preaches that temperatures are going up
42
131303
2536
i propoveda da se temperature penju
02:13
because we forgot to bring a reusable bag to the store.
43
133863
3430
jer smo zaboravili da ponesemo višekratnu torbu u prodavnicu.
02:17
You taught me that taking care of Mother Earth
44
137665
3079
Ti si me naučila da se briga o majci prirodi
02:20
is about every decision that we make as a collective.
45
140768
3120
sastoji od svake odluke koju zajedno donosimo.
02:25
I am happy to tell you, Abuelita,
46
145109
2260
Drago mi je što mogu da ti kažem, bako,
02:27
that I changed everybody's mind in that club.
47
147393
2971
da sam promenila mišljenje svima u toj sekciji.
02:30
Instead of talking about recycling,
48
150388
2548
Umesto razgovora o reciklaži,
02:32
we started to write letters to our politicians
49
152960
2770
počeli smo da pišemo pisma našim političarima
02:35
to ban soft plastic altogether.
50
155754
2325
da ukinu meku plastiku.
02:38
And then, the unexpected happened:
51
158498
2768
A onda, desilo se neočekivano:
02:41
we started striking from school.
52
161871
2342
počeli smo da štrajkujemo u školi.
02:45
I know you've probably seen it on the news,
53
165578
2270
Znam da si verovatno to videla na vestima
02:47
and maybe it's not that special anymore.
54
167872
2045
i da možda više nije toliko značajno.
02:50
But at the time, it was a huge deal, Abuelita.
55
170420
3202
Ali jedno vreme to je bila velika stvar, bako.
02:53
Imagine kids not going to school, because we want people to save the world.
56
173646
4353
Zamisli decu koja ne idu u školu, da bi podstakli ljude da spase svet.
02:58
(Video) Crowd: Another world is possible! We are unstoppable!
57
178023
2941
(Video) Ljudi: Drugačiji svet je moguć! Mi smo nezaustavljivi!
03:00
Xiye Bastida: For the first global climate strike,
58
180988
2392
ŠB: Na prvom globalnom štrajku za klimatske promene,
03:03
which was called on by Greta Thunberg,
59
183404
1878
kojeg je sazvala Greta Tunberg,
03:05
I got 600 of my classmates to walk out with me.
60
185306
3652
600 učenika iz škole šetalo je sa mnom.
03:10
Greta Thunberg is a teenager who first started striking for climate.
61
190474
3415
Greta Tunberg je tinejdžerka koja je prva počela da štrajkuje za klimu.
03:14
Her boldness inspired me,
62
194252
2390
Njena odvažnost me je inspirisala
03:16
and I was shocked by the realization
63
196666
2889
i bila sam šokirana saznanjem
03:19
that youth could turn public opinion on social issues.
64
199579
4019
da mladi mogu da promene javno mišljenje o problemima u društvu.
03:24
The movement exploded.
65
204196
1151
Pokret je buknuo.
03:25
(Video) Crowd: Shut it down!
66
205371
1342
Video: Ljudi: Prestanite!
03:26
XB: And I became one of the main organizers
67
206737
2048
ŠB: I ja sam postala glavni organizator
03:28
for New York, the US and the world.
68
208809
2622
u Njujorku, SAD-u i svetu.
03:31
(Video) XB: What do we want? Crowd: Climate justice!
69
211455
2452
(Video) ŠB: Šta želimo? Ljudi: Klimatsku pravdu!
03:33
XB: When do we want it? Crowd: Now!
70
213931
1625
ŠB: Kad to želimo? Ljudi: Odmah!
03:35
XB: I started speaking up about climate justice and Indigenous rights
71
215580
3300
ŠB: Počela sam da pričam o klimatskoj pravdi i pravima staroseledaca
03:38
and intergenerational cooperation.
72
218880
2100
i međugeneracijskoj saradnji.
03:40
That was only the beginning, though.
73
220980
2137
To je, međutim, bio samo početak.
03:43
The busiest week of my life
74
223141
1619
Najaktivnija nedelja u mom životu
03:44
will forever be the week of September 20, 2019.
75
224784
3980
će zauvek biti nedelja 20. septembra 2019.
03:49
Me and my friends got 300,000 people to strike for climate in New York.
76
229470
6125
Ja i moji prijatelji ubedili smo 300.000 ljudi da štrajkuju u Njujorku.
03:56
I wish you could have been there.
77
236023
1633
Volela bih da si bila tamo.
03:57
We walked through Wall Street, demanding climate justice.
78
237680
2933
Šetali smo kroz Vol strit, zahtevajući klimatsku pravdu.
04:00
(Video) Crowd: No more coal, no more oil, keep the carbon in the soil!
79
240637
3288
(Video) Ljudi: Dosta je uglja, dosta je nafte, ostavite ugljenik u zemlji!
04:03
XB: That same month, I went to the United Nations Climate Summit.
80
243949
3096
ŠB: Taj isti mesec, otišla sam na konferenciju UN-a o klimi.
04:07
I spoke on a panel with Al Gore.
81
247069
1984
Pričala sam na panelu sa Al Gorom.
04:09
I met Jay Inslee and Naomi Klein and Bill McKibben
82
249664
3871
Upoznala sam Džeja Inslija i Naomi Klajn i Bila Makibena
04:13
and the president of the United Nations.
83
253559
2600
i predsednicu Ujedinjenih nacija.
04:16
It was the most amazing week of my life,
84
256742
2293
Bila je to najbolja nedelja mog života,
04:19
because everyone I knew came together --
85
259059
3088
jer su se svi koje znam skupili zajedno -
04:22
all my teachers, all my classmates ...
86
262171
2586
svi moji profesori, svi moji prijatelji iz škole...
04:24
And even some of my favorite stores closed down to strike for climate.
87
264781
4706
Čak su neke od mojih omiljenih prodavnica štrajkovale za klimu.
04:30
If you had asked me why I did all of that,
88
270643
2537
Da si me pitala zašto sam sve to uradila,
04:33
my only answer would be,
89
273204
1938
moj jedini odgovor bi bio
04:35
"How could I not?"
90
275166
1440
"Zašto da ne?"
04:37
It's been one year since it all started for me,
91
277847
3325
Prošlo je godinu dana otkako je sve započelo
04:41
and it gets a little tiring at times.
92
281196
1999
i ponekad je zamorno.
04:43
But if there is one thing that you taught me, it's resilience.
93
283688
3494
Ali ako postoji jedna stvar koju si me naučila, to je upornost.
04:47
I remember that you went to Mexico City every day for 30 years
94
287919
4288
Sećam se da si tokom 30 godina svaki dan odlazila u Meksiko Siti
04:52
to get money for the family.
95
292231
1921
kako bi nabavila novac za porodicu.
04:54
And I know that Abuelito has been going out for 20 years
96
294176
3952
Znam da deka odlazi već 20 godina
04:58
to protect sacred land from big companies that want to take it.
97
298152
3420
da zaštiti svetu zemlju od velikih firmi koje žele da je preuzmu.
05:02
A year is nothing
98
302081
1404
Godina nije ništa
05:03
compared to the struggles that our family has been through.
99
303509
2928
naspram nevolja kroz koje je naša porodica prošla.
05:06
And if our struggles make the world a better place,
100
306855
3254
A ako naše nevolje čine svet boljim mestom,
05:10
they will make us better people.
101
310133
2171
one će nas učiniti boljim ljudima.
05:12
There have been some hardships, Abuelita.
102
312673
2444
Bilo je teško, bako.
05:15
Out there in the world,
103
315141
1406
širom sveta
05:16
people expect us kids to know everything,
104
316571
3236
ljudi očekuju da mi deca znamo sve,
05:19
or at least they want us to.
105
319831
1713
ili bar to žele.
05:21
They ask questions and I give answers,
106
321568
2823
Oni postavljaju pitanja, a ja dajem odgovore,
05:24
as if I really knew how the world works.
107
324415
2535
kao da stvarno znam kako svet funkcioniše.
05:26
They want hope, and we give it.
108
326974
2137
Oni traže nadu, a mi je pružamo.
05:30
I have organized, written, spoken and read about climate and policy
109
330620
5283
Organizovala sam, pisala, govorila i čitala o klimi i politici
05:35
almost every day for the past year.
110
335927
2333
skoro svaki dan tokom prošle godine.
05:39
And I'm just a little worried
111
339204
1746
Pomalo sam zabrinuta
05:40
that I won't be able to do enough, Abuelita.
112
340974
2391
da neću moći da učinim dovoljno, bako.
05:44
For me, being 18 years old and trying to save the world
113
344484
3815
Za mene, imati 18 godina i pokušavati da spaseš svet
05:48
means being a climate activist.
114
348323
1905
znači biti aktivista za klimu.
05:50
Before, maybe it meant studying to be a doctor
115
350617
2547
Pre je to možda značilo učiti za doktora
05:53
or a politician or a researcher.
116
353188
2294
ili političara ili naučnika.
05:55
But I can't wait to grow up and become one of those things.
117
355800
3197
Ali ja ne mogu da čekam da odrastem kako bi postala neko od njih.
05:59
The planet is suffering,
118
359514
1831
Planeta pati,
06:01
and we don't have the luxury of time anymore.
119
361369
2492
a mi više nemamo vremena napretek.
06:05
Saving the world as a teenager means being good with words,
120
365469
3735
Spasavati svet kao tinejdžerka znači biti dobar govornik,
06:09
understanding the science behind the climate crisis,
121
369228
2865
razumeti nauku koja stoji iza klimatske krize,
06:12
bringing a unique perspective into the issue to stand out
122
372117
3587
imati jedinstvenu perspektivu o problemu kako bi se istakao
06:15
and forgetting about almost everything else.
123
375728
2886
i zaboraviti na skoro sve ostalo.
06:19
But sometimes, I want to care about other things again.
124
379333
3014
Ali ponekad, želim da mi je ponovo stalo do drugih stvari.
06:22
I want to be able to sing and dance and do gymnastics.
125
382371
3392
Želim da pevam i plešem i idem na gimnastiku.
06:26
I truly feel that if all of us took care of the Earth
126
386214
3870
Zaista mislim da, ako bi se svako od nas brinuo o Zemlji
06:30
as a practice,
127
390108
1310
iz navike,
06:31
as a culture,
128
391442
1802
iz kulture,
06:33
none of us would have to be full-time climate activists.
129
393268
3343
niko od nas ne bi morao da bude aktivista za klimu non-stop.
06:37
When businesses turn sustainable,
130
397360
2003
Kada kompanije postanu održive,
06:39
when the power grid runs on renewable energy,
131
399387
3238
kada se elektromreža bude napajala obnovljivom energijom,
06:42
when the school curriculum teaches us
132
402649
3012
kada nas školski plan i program bude učio
06:45
that taking care of the Earth is part of our humanity,
133
405685
3234
da je briga o Zemlji deo čovečanstva,
06:50
maybe I can do gymnastics once again.
134
410008
2611
možda mogu da se vratim gimnastici.
06:52
Don't you think so, Abuelita?
135
412942
1499
Zar ne misliš tako, bako?
06:54
We can do this.
136
414966
1150
Mi to možemo.
06:56
All I'm trying to do with my work
137
416569
1588
Sve što pokušavam da postignem
06:58
is give that optimistic mindset to other people.
138
418181
3008
je da pružim optimističan pogled na svet drugim ljudima.
07:01
But it's been a little hard.
139
421879
1546
Ali to je donekle teško.
07:03
There is greed,
140
423870
1177
Tu je pohlepa,
07:05
there's pride,
141
425071
1419
tu je ponos,
07:06
there's money,
142
426514
1252
tu je novac,
07:07
and there's materialism.
143
427790
1501
i tu je materijalizam.
07:09
People make it so easy for me to talk to them,
144
429315
3163
Ljudi tako lako dopuštaju da im pričam,
07:12
