I promise to switch from “light” to “deep” green.
To my brother’s children,
We wondered about how we might be able to eliminate plastics from our day to day routines, and recycled literally everything. We were amazing, you should have seen us. Now and again though, we wondered if these were the right questions.
Dear Tomorrow,
Less meat, more on my feet!
Dear Maya,
Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.
Son,
Make the most of every day because remember yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.
Dear Lucy,

To My Grandchildren,

Annalu minha filha amada,
Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.
Dear Students,
My act of love will be to use all the power I have, during the rest of my life, to stop climate change.
To anyone who has heard my music,
I promise to care about the planet.
My future husband,
I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.
