I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.

Hope there will be no more droughts,
And no more pollution with which we fought,
Regarding every human should be taught,
Ensuring that we uniformly follow these thoughts.

I haven’t met you yet, but I already know you deserve a better tomorrow.

Quiero pensar que ustedes serán la diferencia, que tomaran más actos sobre el asunto y no dejaran que nada los detenga.

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.

I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.

Que se multipliquem estes novos heróis da Terra!

This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.

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

I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.

If we work together to spread the awareness of what is occurring today, we will be able to prevent it from continuing into the tomorrow.
