Dear Tripp,

I promise to do my part, supporting federal legislation to protect our earth while starting small with projects at home. In this next year, we will start composting at home, drive less, walk/bike more, continue recycling, use reusable grocery bags and less water. I have been lucky enough to visit six of the seven continents on this earth and want to share all their beauty with you someday. If we don’t do our part, there will be nothing left to show you or your children. Here we are pictured in one of our favorite places, the Pacific NW – you were 8 months old. Every summer we close our laptops, put away our cell phones, say goodbye to social media and fly here to just be in nature. So many beautiful memories here. My dream is for you to bring your family someday and enjoy what the world has to offer just as it is. I hope the beauty remains.

All my love to you.

No plastic straws, no water bottles, shop local, no meat.
