"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” (The Lord of the Rings. J. R. R. Tolkien) Do you remember the time when we brought the alarming message to the highest council where the leaders of all the races had gathered to decide how to protect our world from an expanding shadow? And how after talking and talking no one among them seemed ready to take the responsibility that was demanded by the crisis? And then how we realized that we were the ones to lead this struggle and to carry the burden further to save everything we loved?   Well, if having read this you get confused whether the paragraph is about the United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen or about the Elrond Council from the Lord of the Ring saga, we are in the same boat. One day this autumn I looked around and saw myself in the middle of the climate movement epos, no less dramatic than Frodo & Co’s adventures in the Middle Earth. ​Photo: You want to have a good company when starting a long journey.
