Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

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

I promise to be a knight in the campaign of truth seeking.

There are many paths to Truth, but regardless of your faith or ideology, one truth is above all else: Life must continue.

I am working every second of my life, with every ounce of my being, to ensure that I am leaving you and your brother a planet that is safe and secure.

This is our house.

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through. 

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