I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.

Everyone should be grow at least 100 trees in his lifetime.

Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.

I haven’t met you yet, but I already know you deserve a better tomorrow.

Climate is undeniably changing but it is not top priority.

I hope this year is a real turning point and by the time you’re a teenager, your life is powered almost entirely by clean energy like solar and wind.

Tenho muito orgulho da minha função (agente de fiscalização ambiental do Acre) pois é através dela que posso dar um pouco do meu suor, para que no futuro ambos possam ter um lugar melhor para viver.

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.

Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.
