Dear Tess,
Climate change threatens your children’s future, and your children deserve much, much more than that. Because this is a issue that I feel so strongly about, I promise to bike everywhere that I would drive during my time here at UVM, and I promise to turn off/unplug every appliance or electronic in my possession when not in use. I promise to minimize my water usage by taking shorter showers. I urge you to think about this issue and the impact that you could have on not just your children, but everyone’s children. What promises will you make?
