As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.

I hope there is no more fire in CA.

This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.

I am making that promise now, and I vow to teach you to do the same.

Vivamos a vida com intensidade, Não nos importando a localidade.

As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.

The road I learned to ride my bike on, the field where I kicked my first soccer ball, and the park I ate my first ice cream cone at, could all be gone.

No voice is too small to be heard. Every action counts.

I will keep the air clean so everyone can see the sunset.

P.S – I also hope you’ve been getting your stuff together especially with the environment. Y’all currently slipping real hard.
