Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.

I vow that I will try to make a difference every day, so that you may enjoy the world as I have.

I believe this fusion of ecology and economy backed by the digital technology is our great achievement.

I hope, as your father, I’ve done enough to instill within you how science is a wonderful adventure.

I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.

Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences.

I will do all that I can, and hope my fellow inhabitants join my pursuit, to nurture this planet.

I want you to only see the beauty in this world; there is so much of it and I will protect this beauty for as long as I am here on this Earth.

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
