As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.

Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.

There are many paths to Truth, but regardless of your faith or ideology, one truth is above all else: Life must continue.

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

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

This is my most important work.

I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.
