You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.

May my tomorrow include more attention to these details so that you know that I do care.

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.

Its been heavy on my shoulders since I found out about the state of climate woes as a child.

I promise those who walked the Earth before me and those who will walk the Earth after me that I will not stand by and let nature slip through my fingers.

While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.

I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.

I hope that my work helping to make your schools more sustainable will be something you carry on as you grow older.
