Dear beautiful person,

There is debate today regarding the impacts of climate change. Though we don’t with ultimate nano-like precision how much impact any particular activity has on our environment, we do know that anthropogenic forces are a large cause in climate mistreatment. Regulations of today may seem strict to some, but for others a stepping stone. It is clear that these are still early days with regards to strictness of environmental regulations – we’re still in the Wild West.

I acknowledge the impact of climate change and the new reality that it will present to future generations. To do my part, I will focus on moderating my consumption in all areas in order to lead a more focused (and cleaner) life. I think that leading my life according to this broad goal will anchor my future actions in a more sustainable direction. I will not lead a life of excess. I will make a concerted effort to live efficiently. I will advocate for leaders who are prioritize our environment.
