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?

To My Fellow Two-Spirits,

Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.
