Dear future generations,

At the rate at which we are pollution our oceans and if we do not act now, we could lose seafood by 2048. That seems like a long time away but in reality, that time will go by extremely fast. The loss of ocean biodiversity is accelerating, and 29 percent of the seafood species humans consume have already crashed. If the long-term trend continues, in 30 years there will be little or no seafood available for sustainable harvest. This is going to kill the population of our fish rapidly and we need to act now. I hope when you read this, we have done something to fix this problem and more problems with polluting our oceans. Our ocean makes up our planet and we need to protect it.

It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
 

To my darling ones,

And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age
 

Dear Jack,

Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.

To older Rochelle,

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
