I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.

I hope I can look you in the eye and tell you I honestly did everything I could to protect our planet.

Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.

Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and your future.

Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.

We need to work to save our beautiful home.

Young people are making a lot of noise and politicians are now listening.

My desire is for clean air, clean water, rich soil, and healthy nutritious food for you and all children always everywhere.

Pedimos que vocês procurem fazer como nós e continuem essa luta de colaborar com nosso planeta: evitando o consumo exagerado, usando a tecnologia para o bem, plantando árvores, economizando água e poluindo menos.

You both know I have made it my mission to get people to understand more about the state of our planet‘s climate and what was at stake.
