Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences.

If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.

My promise is to continue to dedicate my life, my business, and my future to creating cultures that embrace environmental action not only for our own good, but the good of the countless other species hurting from climate change.

A message from co-founder Jill Kubit:
Writing letters to our kids about climate change is hard. It should be.

I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.

But being truthful, I know we are not yet on the path that will lead to the change that is needed; but it is visible.

You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.

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.

I hope by 2050, our society has taken initiative to be producing energy solely through renewable sources.

The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.

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