The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.

Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

So, dear heart, I am doing everything I can as the situation worsens.

As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.

Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.

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