I promise that I will plant more trees in places where there are none.

I promise you to keep trying, to keep educating, to keep pushing our elected officials to act and protect your health now and in the future.

My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.

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.
