I plan to plant more things this spring, as we do every year in our garden.

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

I hope that the state of the environment becomes a part of everyday discourse.

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

One day ten or twenty years from now, when you look back from the future, you will be able to clearly see the entire path.

A message from co-founder Jill Kubit:
Writing letters to our kids about climate change is hard. It should be.

I’m voting with climate change as a top priority. I’ve tried to teach you boys that we need to clean up after ourselves and take care of the earth. I promise to continue doing these actions and more, for your sake.
