I hope that humans can live harmoniously with the earth.

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

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

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?

I will work everyday to combat climate change for your today, for your tomorrow!

If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

Quero que você beba água pura, coma alimentos sem agrotóxicos e que sua casinha branca com varanda, seja voltada para o leste, onde o sol vai nascer.

I will do my part to help ensure that there is an Earth left when we are done borrowing it.

Anytime I’m at the crossroads of life, I pray that I, or anyone else in the same position, will keep you in mind, and try to shape a world that’s the best possible for you.

If we don’t stop cutting down trees for agriculture and to build houses then the future generations will not think about trees when they hear the word Earth.
