In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.

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

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

We are fighting for a shared cause, inspired by our strong and unwavering dedication to preserve the beauty and wonder of our natural world for our children, our grandchildren and their children, and for countless generations to come.

I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.
