My hopes have always been to live in a brighter and better generation, where women are respected around the world, human rights are respected and last but not least where animals and mother nature is cared for by us individuals.

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.

I can feel the change happening — many people are working to transform the world.

A message from co-founder Jill Kubit:
Writing letters to our kids about climate change is hard. It should be.

I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.

As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.

Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and your future.
