Dear Tiago and Matheus and…

I come to this message with my commitment to take care of the environment. The earth needs help! I know you guys have a good education about that… I hope one day you read this message and go on trying to help the planet. The climate changes and this worry me a lot. In 2050 I don’t know how everything goes! When start thinking about the water problem, I start to ask: Why don’t people worry about the future? Often they don’t care about it.
I’m hoping some day you guys will have a chance to face a new generation with environmental awareness.

I don’t know if I will be alive in 2050… but I want to pass the commitments to you:
– Don’t spend water unnecesserily.
– Recycle the garbage.
– Use less plastic bags, if you need one, use the biodegradable.
– Build a green mind… plant trees.

With simple actions we can prevent climate change. I love you guys and I trust you!!!

With love Mom,
Lorena Foureaux Ribeiro
