I will not stop fighting for a more sustainable future, your future.

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 hope that by the time you’re reading this, things have changed and people have started to protect the earth

Today, I promise to keep my spaces clean and my environment cleaner.

When you look at me with those big beautiful eyes and that innocent smile, you make me want to fight harder. And I do.

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.

Antes de realizar qualquer ação pense no meio ambiente para que suas atitudes sejam pautadas na sustentabilidade. Assim o seu pensar e agir localmente poderão resvalar na escala global.

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.
