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

I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.

In 2050, I will still be fighting against climate change. I feel that it’s not only my duty, but rather my destiny.

Awareness is key. Learning about this issue can seem like a small effort compared to other actions, but it’s the most important.

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

I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.

Talvez eu não esteja viva para ver alguma mudança, mas espero que vocês vejam e tenham um mundo melhor em 2050. Plantei um ipê rosa e outro amarelo, que eles estejam florindo até 2050.

It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.

This is my most important work.

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

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.
