We know about this. If we don’t fix this for you, it’s our fault.

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

I will continue to work to make the Earth a cleaner and safer place for you to grow and explore.

It’s scary, this is the stuff you see in movies about the end of the world.

I’ll be here to tell you all the ways I have fought for the health of our home, and fought to protect all of the wide, open spaces for you to run in. When you’re old enough, we can fight together.

I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.
