I would like you to appreciate the Earth and all the resources we take for granted now. We will all need to be better stewards of this fragile planet so that you can appreciate them as I do. In the past humans thought Earth’s bounty was endless. Not so. We need to stop taking more from Earth’s limited resources than we give back.

Dear Tomorrow,
My climate action is to educate youth to create solutions for energy efficiency and conservation opportunities.
To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan
I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
Dear Lucie,
Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.
I love you Earth.
Dear Tomorrow,
And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.
Dear tomorrow,
The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.
Dear Tristan,
I am doing this to protect you, the food, water, air and biodiversity of a country that I love.
Dear Son,
I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.
Dear Ezmae,
As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.
Dear grandchild,
There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
Dear Spike, Loulou and Yoshua,
I’m going to start a campaign to try to convince everybody in the Netherlands to not eat meat one day a week.
