I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.

Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.

Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.

If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

Quero que você beba água pura, coma alimentos sem agrotóxicos e que sua casinha branca com varanda, seja voltada para o leste, onde o sol vai nascer.

As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.

It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures.  These are the confessions of a climate activist:

I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.

It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.
