Que vocês possam contar para seus filhos e netos que minha geração tomou consciência de sua responsabilidade e assumiu sua condição de natureza e a ela se reintegrou, com inteligência, interação respeitosa e solidariedade.

Quero que você beba água pura, coma alimentos sem agrotóxicos e que sua casinha branca com varanda, seja voltada para o leste, onde o sol vai nascer.

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

I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

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.

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.

That we all have a role to play no matter how small, we all can make a difference.

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

I hope we can pass on a better place to live so that my grandchildren and their future children can enjoy the beauty of nature that our wonderful God has given us.
