I promise to do my part. I promise to be the change I want to see in the world, and I hope that you, reader, will do the same.

More importantly, what are we doing to better our planet and everyone who lives in it?

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.

I asked you, the future , to help us as well, to preserve our only planet that can give us life, that can let us watch anime, go to the beach, smell flowers, run through the meadow, listen to our songs, be in a concert, and let us live.

I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.

Today, I promise to keep my spaces clean and my environment cleaner.

Devemos conservar nosso planeta. Mas, para se fazer isso, temos que fazer isso juntos. Todos os seres humanos devem estar voltados para cuidar bem do lar em que vivemos e do presente que Deus nos deu para viver: a Terra.

I promise you to keep trying, to keep educating, to keep pushing our elected officials to act and protect your health now and in the future.

Anytime I’m at the crossroads of life, I pray that I, or anyone else in the same position, will keep you in mind, and try to shape a world that’s the best possible for you.
