Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.

Last year most of the world’s reefs turned white at some point, but because it was underwater you and your friends didn’t see.

When you look at me with those big beautiful eyes and that innocent smile, you make me want to fight harder. And I do.

I hope, as your father, I’ve done enough to instill within you how science is a wonderful adventure.

The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.

We are fighting for a shared cause, inspired by our strong and unwavering dedication to preserve the beauty and wonder of our natural world for our children, our grandchildren and their children, and for countless generations to come.

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through. 

I will keep trying Kaydence, I promise. And I hope we can look back together in 2050 and smile, knowing that our Earth is healthy once again.

Dobbiamo aiutare nel conservare il bello che c’è nel nostro pianeta.

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.
