I promise to do everything I can as a daughter to our great Mother Earth to protect her wildlife and trees.

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.

While I will work my hardest to create any positive change I can, you must continue this quest. You cannot give up hope, and you must always remember that the beauty on this Earth is worth saving.

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

This is our house.

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.

I will do my part to help ensure that there is an Earth left when we are done borrowing it.

I don’t regret my past ventures, nor do I believe I will regret my future ventures, but I’ve learned that I’ve needed to manifest these experiences into actions of sustainable development and conservation and protection of our environment.

I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.

I tried.
