It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.

My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.

I am witnessing climate change in a way that I do not like, and I do not know how can I stop it.

I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.

Since my two daughters emerged into this world, all of my tomorrows have become more dear.

Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.

My promise is to work to protest carbon emissions.

We are fighting for a shared cause, inspired by our strong and unwavering dedication to preserve the beauty and wonder of our natural world for our children, our grandchildren and their children, and for countless generations to come.
