So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.

The time has come to question ourselves as citizens about our own actions and the legacy we are leaving behind.

I will continue to work to make the Earth a cleaner and safer place for you to grow and explore.

I am a better person because of you, and I want the world to be a better place for you.

Awareness is key. Learning about this issue can seem like a small effort compared to other actions, but it’s the most important.

I promise those who walked the Earth before me and those who will walk the Earth after me that I will not stand by and let nature slip through my fingers.

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.

I will do all that I can, and hope my fellow inhabitants join my pursuit, to nurture this planet.

You ask insightful questions, and together we learn about the mysterious world we inhabit.

Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.

I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.
