Dear future Child…

I picture you playing in the sand and ocean just as I did, however, you may come across some our challenges as the past generations (including my own) have put up some barriers. You may see litter lined on the shores, trash in the oceans, or the effects of the rising sea level. Who knows, maybe will increasing temperatures you will be on this beach at any time of the year. As I do not want this for you, I promise to reanalyze and fix my carbon footprint, to mitigate my negative impacts on the environment and to treat the earth like the home it is. I will attend protests so that my voice is heard and hopefully policy makers hear so that they can make change on behalf of everyone. I can start small, so today, I will not eat that steak I was going to buy, but instead make veggie burgers.
