The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.

I don’t regret my past ventures, nor do I believe I will regret my future ventures, but I’ve learned that I’ve needed to manifest these experiences into actions of sustainable development and conservation and protection of our environment.

I promise to plant 5 trees every year just to make sure I don’t leave a carbon footprint.

The road I learned to ride my bike on, the field where I kicked my first soccer ball, and the park I ate my first ice cream cone at, could all be gone.

The world is changing and it is happening fast.

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.

I promise to raise you as a loving-nature human.
