Que se multipliquem estes novos heróis da Terra!

I love you and I care deeply about your future.

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.

We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

You are so small. So innocent. So beautiful. For you and for everyone else, I will try harder.

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.

I wish you all the best and always make sure that you can be proud of yourself and don’t need status-symbols for feeling nice.
