My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.

The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?

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.

My promise is to continue to dedicate my life, my business, and my future to creating cultures that embrace environmental action not only for our own good, but the good of the countless other species hurting from climate change.

As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.

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

I haven’t met you yet, but I already know you deserve a better tomorrow.

I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.

I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.

We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
