Dear Alice,

My mind fills with fear when I think of the world that we may inhabit in 2050. I hope that there is clean air,

Water,

Housing,

Oceans, 

Fields to run in.

I wish so badly that I could promise you that we are going to be living in a world where the worries of climate change will be behind us, and I am so sorry if that does not come to fruition. I don’t have hopes of flying cars or teleportation, simply that things don’t get any worse for our earth. Perhaps they even get better. 

My commitment to you is to help you invest in our community. Maybe we can get rid of our cars together, and buy bikes. My commitment is to love you and love our home. 

Love always
