I think every parent believes that their child’s future is worth protecting – because I know the power of this force in me and what I am willing to do.

I am witnessing climate change in a way that I do not like, and I do not know how can I stop it.

If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love.

Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.

People are an amazing race and, if we have the will, I believe we have the ingenuity and resources to fix the harm we’ve done.

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.

I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.

If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?
