An adult granddaughter discovers a treasure among her grandfather's possessions, a letter written to her by him years before when she was a child. Played in this short, moving video, by Jeremy Irons, her grandfather reminds her of the joy they shared working in the garden, discovering the beauty of the earth, its fragility, and the need to care for and protect it. He reminds her to love this treasured resource because she is part of the "great family" of earth. His wishes extend to all children everywhere, with the universal wisdom of grandparents, sustained by the hope that their grandchildren will carry on their hopes and dreams for a better world.
