“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – The Lorax

Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.

I promise those who walked the Earth before me and those who will walk the Earth after me that I will not stand by and let nature slip through my fingers.

Eu quero esse mundo melhor para você, onde o povo tem voz, seja lá quem você seja, eu vou fazer se tudo para proporcionar um mundo melhor para você.

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.

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.

Antes de realizar qualquer ação pense no meio ambiente para que suas atitudes sejam pautadas na sustentabilidade. Assim o seu pensar e agir localmente poderão resvalar na escala global.

I am so sorry we didn’t realize this predicament sooner.

I promise to do my part. I promise to be the change I want to see in the world, and I hope that you, reader, will do the same.

My act of love will be to use all the power I have, during the rest of my life, to stop climate change.
