You both know I have made it my mission to get people to understand more about the state of our planet‘s climate and what was at stake.

I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.

Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.

Don’t stop looking for adventures.

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.

I will use my voice to help bring awareness about climate change.

That we all have a role to play no matter how small, we all can make a difference.

Love, help and build a future in unison that benefits and protects the whole world.
