I love you and I care deeply about your future.

I hope that you start doing things that will help the world.

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.

My desire is for clean air, clean water, rich soil, and healthy nutritious food for you and all children always everywhere.

Life is not easier being a believer but I would not have picked another path. Thanks to my Faith I found my passion to work to stop climate change for your future. Now go play outside and breathe clean air. Dios te bendiga.

Is the world really polluted?

Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.

There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.

Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.

I do believe that the collective power of everyone’s best efforts can curb the worst effects of climate change, and provide you with a more stable and secure future.

I hope that my work helping to make your schools more sustainable will be something you carry on as you grow older.
