Dear Lerato,
I promise to buy less cotton + polyester, use less jet fuel, waste less water + consume less meat. I promise to hug more, share more, stay home more, garden more. With eternal love, your mom (Beth) xoxoxo

I promise to take shorter showers.
To my Maria and her children,
I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying.
Dear Ya’Ash,
There are many paths to Truth, but regardless of your faith or ideology, one truth is above all else: Life must continue.
Dear future generations,
Past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and hunted all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left.
To my fellow adventurers,
Don’t stop looking for adventures.
To my darling ones,
And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age
Dear Levon,
I hope, as your father, I’ve done enough to instill within you how science is a wonderful adventure.
Dear Nephew,
I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.
I pledge to stop using plastic bags.
Dear Tristan,
I am doing this to protect you, the food, water, air and biodiversity of a country that I love.
Dear Rowan and Anaka,
If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?
Dear Lila
So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.
