Minhas florzinhas é isso…. vamos a batalha , procurar se informar sobre empresas que são amigas do meio ambiente, tentar banir as empresas que poluem nosso ar, nossos rios.

I promise to do my part. I promise to be the change I want to see in the world, and I hope that you, reader, will do the same.

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’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.

I hope that you start doing things that will help the world.

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.

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

One day ten or twenty years from now, when you look back from the future, you will be able to clearly see the entire path.

Despite all the difficulties, we are from a family whose principles are honesty and love for others, and that’s what I want to share with you.
