My dear family and friends,

I made a promise to myself today to think of you each time I have someone tell me that climate changes are inevitable and one person can’t make a difference, anyway. I’m going to ask them to do one thing about climate change that would make their dearest ones proud of them.

Dear Amara and Uma,

Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.

 

My dearest children Ameilia and Alivia, 

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.

 

To My Future Children,

Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.

So, dear heart, I am doing everything I can as the situation worsens.
