Everyone currently in life laughs and yells save the bees. We were a bee this year for Halloween and Lucy even came up with a great slogan “get with it honey”.

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

I hope that you start doing things that will help the world.

If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?

I want the very best for you and for generations to come. There is only one planet earth. Your mommy and I will make a genuine effort to make an impact to protect it for you.

I’m going to start a campaign to try to convince everybody in the Netherlands to not eat meat one day a week.

My act of love will be to use all the power I have, during the rest of my life, to stop climate change.

It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures.  These are the confessions of a climate activist:

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