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

In the coming months, we plan to complete a full assessment of our environmental impact online. We hope to discover our biggest areas of resource consumption, learn what we can do better, and create an action plan to improve over the next year.

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.

How can I look at your bright eyes and light dance and tell you we are facing a war?

Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.

If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.

If we don’t stop cutting down trees for agriculture and to build houses then the future generations will not think about trees when they hear the word Earth.

Last week I took you to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.

I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.

This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.
