Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.

I am most sorry we could not work through our differences, and see through the greed, get organized, and do more so that you could have a better life in your 2030 future.

We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.

I think every parent believes that their child’s future is worth protecting – because I know the power of this force in me and what I am willing to do.

I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you.

I can feel the change happening — many people are working to transform the world.

It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.

I hope you got your dream job of using your business degree to reduce co2 emissions and promote sustainable energy.
