Life is not easier being a believer but I would not have picked another path. Thanks to my Faith I found my passion to work to stop climate change for your future. Now go play outside and breathe clean air. Dios te bendiga.

When I asked you why the purple Violet called to you, you told me it was “magic”. I hope that you can still find the magic of life. I hope, despite everything, it is still in abundance.

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.

I became an activist to be part of a force to save the natural world and go 100% clean energy.

Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.

If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.

I want you to only see the beauty in this world; there is so much of it and I will protect this beauty for as long as I am here on this Earth.
