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.

If we work together to spread the awareness of what is occurring today, we will be able to prevent it from continuing into the tomorrow.

In writing this letter to you, I am searching for ways to make my connection and commitment to you more present in my current experience

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.

I hope in a small way this helps your world.

I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.

As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.

Rather than exploit it, destroy it, poison it, why don’t we just enhance the beauty of it, guard it, and love it?

I am doing everything I can because I want the footprint that I leave behind to be my feet in the sand on a beach and not a carbon one.
