Dear Brady,

I love you to the moon and back buddy! I have promised you, and all of the children on this earth, to make this planet a cleaner and safer place with every breath I take and every move I make. I will work everyday to combat climate change for your today, for your tomorrow!

I want you to enjoy the very same wondrous beaches and mountains in Virginia that I grew up exploring and loving. I want you to continue to plant flowers and vegetables in our gardens with the assurance that you are breathing clean air whilst enjoying the outdoors, without the fear of breathing coal ash from our nearby Lamberts Point Coal Terminal.

I will work with legislators to pass legislation that supports America’s Clean Power Plan, ensuring we bring renewable energy like offshore wind and solar to VA. I will implement community gardens and recycling programs to our communities. I will protect you from the dangerous chemicals in our everyday lives! I will make this world a beautiful and safe tomorrow for you Brady.

I love you!
Mama

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.

Dear Future Me,

I hope that when we look back on these years, you’ll see that humanity can be good. That we joined together and fixed it because of we don’t, who will?

My Mini & Lou,

Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.

Dear Future Grandchild,

We can learn a lot about how to treat others from stories that have been passed from generation to generation.

dear future children,

As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.

Dear future family and friends,

This is our house.

Dear Future Explorers,

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?

Dear Tanuj,

The time has come to question ourselves as citizens about our own actions and the legacy we are leaving behind.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will convince my family to switch their gas appliances to electric.
