If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

My goal was to help you grow into better citizens of our planet; to help you care about our natural world and to make everyday choices that reflect concern for our beautiful earth and our own health as well as encourage you to work together to make changes in our community.

My hope for you is that you can have equal experiences with nature that I was able to have with my dad.

It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures.  These are the confessions of a climate activist:

This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.

Mankind has always been able to deal with the greatest challenges it’s faced and this will not be the exception. My message to you is: find that passion and give it your all. ‘Till your legs give out.

When you look at me with those big beautiful eyes and that innocent smile, you make me want to fight harder. And I do.

I think every parent believes that their child’s future is worth protecting – because I know the power of this force in me and what I am willing to do.

Remember how passionate you felt at 20, I hope you keep that passion in you and are still working on climate 30 years from now.
