I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.

I will keep trying Kaydence, I promise. And I hope we can look back together in 2050 and smile, knowing that our Earth is healthy once again.

I am doing this to protect you, the food, water, air and biodiversity of a country that I love.

I am so sorry we didn’t realize this predicament sooner.

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.

Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.

Rather than exploit it, destroy it, poison it, why don’t we just enhance the beauty of it, guard it, and love it?

29 years later, I wish I still can ride bike and go some lovely places in nature. Sky is blue and air is fresh, I will be shining under the sun.

Everyone currently in life laughs and yells save the bees. We were a bee this year for Halloween and Lucy even came up with a great slogan “get with it honey”.

Past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and hunted all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left.

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