See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.

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 will fight for this cause and I will never ever give up because we, the youngsters, are the hope.

If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.

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

Despite all the difficulties, we are from a family whose principles are honesty and love for others, and that’s what I want to share with you.

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.

Talvez eu não esteja viva para ver alguma mudança, mas espero que vocês vejam e tenham um mundo melhor em 2050. Plantei um ipê rosa e outro amarelo, que eles estejam florindo até 2050.

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.
