In writing this letter to you, I am searching for ways to make my connection and commitment to you more present in my current experience

I promise that I will plant more trees in places where there are none.

We’re presenting at conferences, writing articles, and organizing events with the goal of mobilizing our profession to act on climate, and to help them understand that it will deeply impact our mission to preserve history for future generations.

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.

We as the human race are smarter than this struggle at hand and need to rise above large corporate interests and confusion on this topic.

I became an activist to be part of a force to save the natural world and go 100% clean energy.

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 tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.

Rather than exploit it, destroy it, poison it, why don’t we just enhance the beauty of it, guard it, and love it?

I am doing everything I can because I want the footprint that I leave behind to be my feet in the sand on a beach and not a carbon one.
