I am doing everything I can because I want the footprint that I leave behind to be my feet in the sand on a beach and not a carbon one.

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?

Cool, now that your jetpack is put away in your garage where you keep your flying car; how did the aliens save us from our own destruction? Did they have this hyper advance vacuum that just sucks all the greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere?

In order for you two be happy and healthy, we all need to work hard to prevent climate change.

Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

I am getting your father on board too so that we can double charge this together.

Mamma e Papà cercano insieme sempre di darti il meglio però anche tu dovrai fare la tua parte nel mondo.
