If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.

Sometimes I think we will never make it, but I know we must keep trying.

I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.

While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.

I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.

I am doing this to protect you, the food, water, air and biodiversity of a country that I love.

I will not stop fighting for a more sustainable future, your future.
