In writing this letter to you, I am searching for ways to make my connection and commitment to you more present in my current experience

I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.

I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.

You should make a time machine and come back to past and solve all the problems.

I do believe that the collective power of everyone’s best efforts can curb the worst effects of climate change, and provide you with a more stable and secure future.

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

Muita Coragem e força para você enfrentar todos os desafios que virão, pois são com eles que crescemos.

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.

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.

Thank you for reading. Do your part to save the globe.
