As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.

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.

Eu quero esse mundo melhor para você, onde o povo tem voz, seja lá quem você seja, eu vou fazer se tudo para proporcionar um mundo melhor para você.

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

You are so small. So innocent. So beautiful. For you and for everyone else, I will try harder.

I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.

We need to work to save our beautiful home.

You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.

I haven’t met you yet, but I already know you deserve a better tomorrow.

I hope in a small way this helps your world.

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