We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.

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

Anytime I’m at the crossroads of life, I pray that I, or anyone else in the same position, will keep you in mind, and try to shape a world that’s the best possible for you.

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.

A culture of consumption is the reason that my world faces such an ecological crisis, it is both necessary and proper to address the fundamental mindsets that have created such a destructive culture.

I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.

I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!

Since my two daughters emerged into this world, all of my tomorrows have become more dear.

My desire is for clean air, clean water, rich soil, and healthy nutritious food for you and all children always everywhere.

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.
