This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.

My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.

The time has come to question ourselves as citizens about our own actions and the legacy we are leaving behind.

If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.

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

I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.

It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.

I will use my voice to help bring awareness about climate change.
