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

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.

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.

We as the human race are smarter than this struggle at hand and need to rise above large corporate interests and confusion on this topic.

I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.

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?

Sometimes I think we will never make it, but I know we must keep trying.

I hope this year is a real turning point and by the time you’re a teenager, your life is powered almost entirely by clean energy like solar and wind.

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.

Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.
