I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.

I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.

I hope that by the time you’re reading this, things have changed and people have started to protect the earth

I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!

I will work everyday to combat climate change for your today, for your tomorrow!

This is my most important work.

I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.
