So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.

Pedimos que vocês procurem fazer como nós e continuem essa luta de colaborar com nosso planeta: evitando o consumo exagerado, usando a tecnologia para o bem, plantando árvores, economizando água e poluindo menos.

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through. 

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.

We know about this. If we don’t fix this for you, it’s our fault.

I am so sorry we didn’t realize this predicament sooner.

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.

In order for you two be happy and healthy, we all need to work hard to prevent climate change.

My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.

I am most sorry we could not work through our differences, and see through the greed, get organized, and do more so that you could have a better life in your 2030 future.
