We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.

To laugh at our efforts as they were on such a small scale, too small some would say to make a difference, and then smile when we think about the number families just like ours that did the same thing.

I promise that I shall continue to do all that is within my capabilities to leave you a world where there is fairness and justice.

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.

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.

For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.

Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.

I promise to raise you as a loving-nature human.

My promise is to continue to dedicate my life, my business, and my future to creating cultures that embrace environmental action not only for our own good, but the good of the countless other species hurting from climate change.

I will never give up on you, on humanity, on the future.
