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.

I asked you, the future , to help us as well, to preserve our only planet that can give us life, that can let us watch anime, go to the beach, smell flowers, run through the meadow, listen to our songs, be in a concert, and let us live.

I hope you got your dream job of using your business degree to reduce co2 emissions and promote sustainable energy.

Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.

I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.

I think every parent believes that their child’s future is worth protecting – because I know the power of this force in me and what I am willing to do.

I hope that by the time you’re reading this, things have changed and people have started to protect the earth

Thank you for reading. Do your part to save the globe.

It’s scary, this is the stuff you see in movies about the end of the world.

I don’t wish to go backwards, but I do wish we would slow down and design our brave new world with more care.

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