I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.

I want you to see those corn fields in the north, the beautiful beaches down in Florida, and the stars in the woods at night.

I hope this year is a real turning point and by the time you’re a teenager, your life is powered almost entirely by clean energy like solar and wind.

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.

The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?

In the coming months, we plan to complete a full assessment of our environmental impact online. We hope to discover our biggest areas of resource consumption, learn what we can do better, and create an action plan to improve over the next year.

I hope that my work helping to make your schools more sustainable will be something you carry on as you grow older.

Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.

Il faut trouver le 7ème sens et se battre pour des causes justes, comme l´amour et la liberté.

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.
