Life is the most precious gift, only sustained on earth. I pledge to work to mitigate against climate change. Transportation – less flights, less driving. Less waste, less shopping, more nature, more learning, more celebrating the best, helpful efforts. More conversations.
Dear… Parents,
Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.
Dear future niece or nephew,
We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.
My Mini & Lou,
Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
Querido amanhã,
Sempre é bom ajudar a natureza.
To my fellow adventurers,
Don’t stop looking for adventures.
To Annika, Anders, Stella, Eva, and Mickey,
In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.
To the Future Generations,
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?
Filhota,
Espero de verdade saber contribuir para legá-la inteira para você, e que todos saibamos fazer isso em conjunto também.
Dear Levon,
I hope, as your father, I’ve done enough to instill within you how science is a wonderful adventure.
Dear Nieces, Nephews, & Future Children…
If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.
Dear Alex and Vivian,
This is my most important work.
To all the children of the future and those who love them,
While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.
