Tenho muito orgulho da minha função (agente de fiscalização ambiental do Acre) pois é através dela que posso dar um pouco do meu suor, para que no futuro ambos possam ter um lugar melhor para viver.

My hope for you is that you can have equal experiences with nature that I was able to have with my dad.

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.

Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.

I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?

I love you my son. You are waking up now. Hopefully tomorrow, more of us will, too.

I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.

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.
