I think every parent believes that their child’s future is worth protecting – because I know the power of this force in me and what I am willing to do.

I am smelling burning plastic!

I promise to do my part, supporting federal legislation to protect our earth while starting small with projects at home.

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.

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.

A culture of consumption is the reason that my world faces such an ecological crisis, it is both necessary and proper to address the fundamental mindsets that have created such a destructive culture.

I am doing this to protect you, the food, water, air and biodiversity of a country that I love.

I hope I can look you in the eye and tell you I honestly did everything I could to protect our planet.

If we don’t stop cutting down trees for agriculture and to build houses then the future generations will not think about trees when they hear the word Earth.

Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.
