Dear Transitioners,

As my team and I prepare our Thanksgiving feast, I thought it would be a good opportunity to tell you how different the holiday is in 2053. While the theme is still about being thankful for what you have and for the loved ones around you, it has a deeper meaning after the 2033 event that left millions to go into extreme food shortages and starvation. This was called the Great Famine. It was a turning point in our history, a wake-up call that forced humanity to confront the consequences of our unsustainable practices. As we gather around our tables in 2053, the memories of those difficult times linger, serving as a stark reminder of the fragility of our world.

In the aftermath of the Great Famine, communities across the globe came together to find sustainable solutions. Governments, scientists, and ordinary citizens collaborated on unprecedented scales. Transitioners like yourselves played a crucial role in shaping a new world order, one that prioritized environmental stewardship, responsible resource management, and global cooperation.

The Thanksgiving feast, once a symbol of abundance, underwent a radical transformation. Instead of extravagant displays of excess, our tables now showcase the triumph of sustainable agriculture and innovative food production. The centerpiece is not a large turkey, but a diverse array of plant-based dishes, cultivated through cutting-edge technologies that prioritize ecological balance.

As we sit down to eat, we share stories of resilience and adaptation. The Thanksgiving feast is not just a celebration of gratitude; it is a tribute to the human spirit's ability to overcome challenges. The notion of "sharing the bounty" takes on a new meaning, as we recognize the interconnectedness of all living things on Earth.
