Dear future generations,

I hope you get to see the oceans and all of creatures that call them home. I hope you get to feel the rough bark of a tree while climbing on a sunny day. I hope you get to smell fresh rain during the summer, while you run outside to play in the puddles. I hope you get to hear the chirping of baby birds, when their mom comes home to feed them. I hope you get to taste the cold prick of a snowflake on your tongue while making snowmen. I hope you get to smell flowers in your backyard, not a museum. And most of all I hope that we can work together to make all of this available to you for a long, long time.

Even when contemplating huge global-historical issues — especially then — it’s important to stay grounded in the present time and place, the specific here and now, and the minute affairs of everyday interpersonal relations.

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

Antes de realizar qualquer ação pense no meio ambiente para que suas atitudes sejam pautadas na sustentabilidade. Assim o seu pensar e agir localmente poderão resvalar na escala global.

What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.

To Annika, Anders, Stella, Eva, and Mickey,

In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.
