While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.

I promise that I will plant more trees in places where there are none.

I promise you to keep trying, to keep educating, to keep pushing our elected officials to act and protect your health now and in the future.

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.

Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.

Quiero que puedas decirme que lo hemos logrado, y que el mundo hoy es un poquito mejor porque nosotras pusimos de nuestra parte.

Past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and hunted all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left.

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

My hope for you is that you can have equal experiences with nature that I was able to have with my dad.
