I love you and I care deeply about your future.

Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.

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

In writing this letter to you, I am searching for ways to make my connection and commitment to you more present in my current experience

The most important thing in my life is you, which means that as your mom – I am doing my very best to make sure that when you read this letter, Earth is a cleaner and safer place for you and your children.

This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.

To laugh at our efforts as they were on such a small scale, too small some would say to make a difference, and then smile when we think about the number families just like ours that did the same thing.

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

Last year most of the world’s reefs turned white at some point, but because it was underwater you and your friends didn’t see.

I am very proud to know that You will treat Our Earth, Our Natural Gift, Our Playful Backyard with the same Awesome Respect that We give to each other, as a Family – Knowing that Our Earth, is Your Child Now.
