Sometimes I think we will never make it, but I know we must keep trying.

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 with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.

I feel deeply that it is my moral obligation as your Mom to protect your future and allow you to inherit a clean and healthy planet.

Who knows what the future would look like? or what will happened in the future? No one knows right? That’s why it it’s scary because we don’t know what lies ahead. We couldn’t stop the future but we can always change it.

I love you my son. You are waking up now. Hopefully tomorrow, more of us will, too.

I wish for you both that another kind of life has been discovered, one of peace, moderation and concern for all life.

My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.

As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.

I hope, as your father, I’ve done enough to instill within you how science is a wonderful adventure.
