More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

The environment is important – take care of your actions to not destroy it starting from now.

I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!

Eu quero esse mundo melhor para você, onde o povo tem voz, seja lá quem você seja, eu vou fazer se tudo para proporcionar um mundo melhor para você.

If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.

I hope this year is a real turning point and by the time you’re a teenager, your life is powered almost entirely by clean energy like solar and wind.

My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.

I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.
