Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.

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

Fortunately, you didn’t get injured while the wildfire burned your school.

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.

Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.

In the coming months, we plan to complete a full assessment of our environmental impact online. We hope to discover our biggest areas of resource consumption, learn what we can do better, and create an action plan to improve over the next year.

Estou esperando ansiosa sua chegada pra que a gente possa fazer muitas coisas boas juntos, uma delas, é cuidar bem do nosso planeta.

I promise you to keep trying, to keep educating, to keep pushing our elected officials to act and protect your health now and in the future.

I hope that you all can enjoy the Smokey Mountains in your lifetime too and that they look how they did back in 2017 when I saw them.
