A culture of consumption is the reason that my world faces such an ecological crisis, it is both necessary and proper to address the fundamental mindsets that have created such a destructive culture.

I believe i have truly played my part in raising awareness and practical solutions to climate change.

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.

I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.

Non so dove e con chi sarò nel 2050, spero che sia un anno migliore di quello appena passato .

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.

I want you to see those corn fields in the north, the beautiful beaches down in Florida, and the stars in the woods at night.
