Nossa vida só tem qualidade se tem natureza ao nosso redor.

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.

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.

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.

As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.

You are so small. So innocent. So beautiful. For you and for everyone else, I will try harder.

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through. 

I love you and I care deeply about your future.

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.
