I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.

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.

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.

Que se multipliquem estes novos heróis da Terra!

I want the very best for you and for generations to come. There is only one planet earth. Your mommy and I will make a genuine effort to make an impact to protect it for you.

Awareness is key. Learning about this issue can seem like a small effort compared to other actions, but it’s the most important.
