If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?

I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.

In order for you two be happy and healthy, we all need to work hard to prevent climate change.

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.

If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.

I promise to make as many changes to my life as possible to make yours as great as mine.

I think every parent believes that their child’s future is worth protecting – because I know the power of this force in me and what I am willing to do.

Love, help and build a future in unison that benefits and protects the whole world.

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.

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.
