My grandfather would tell stories of how the planet used to be covered in plants and you could breathe the air outside. Back when the sky was blue.

Where is this from ?

It is (I hope) an original. Though the form "my grandfather would tell stories" might be bordering on cliché.

I have a feeling that I read this before somewhere

Especially the "Back when the sky was blue" part

That’s what I immediately thought of too

Pretty sure this is it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yup. Exactly the one I was thinking of.

I'd be surprised if I'm the first person to say it. If you find your source though, let me know, would be interested in reading it.

Haha, that's a big mood.
