My hopes have always been to live in a brighter and better generation, where women are respected around the world, human rights are respected and last but not least where animals and mother nature is cared for by us individuals.

I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.

I hope this year is a real turning point and by the time you’re a teenager, your life is powered almost entirely by clean energy like solar and wind.

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

There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.

I promise that I will plant more trees in places where there are none.

I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?

Tenho muito orgulho da minha função (agente de fiscalização ambiental do Acre) pois é através dela que posso dar um pouco do meu suor, para que no futuro ambos possam ter um lugar melhor para viver.

Last week I took you to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.
