I am writing this message to you guys. When I look outside my window today, I see a beautiful world that others and myself call “home sweet home.” The trees glimmering in warm sunlight, the air stirring a cool breeze, and the water flowing down rivers are parts of our home Mother Earth.

We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.

I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.

You don’t stop fighting because you feel like you’re losing. That’s probably the story of every fight worth having. Know that your mom and dad fought for every chance to give you and your generation a better world.

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.

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.

In 2050, I will still be fighting against climate change. I feel that it’s not only my duty, but rather my destiny.

Com essas ideias simples e força de vontade, podemos tornar um mundo, um lugar melhor para se viver, com menos mortes, menos lixo, transforma-lo em um mundo diferente.

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?

29 years later, I wish I still can ride bike and go some lovely places in nature. Sky is blue and air is fresh, I will be shining under the sun.

Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
