what if my spirit suffers from my inaction during my lifetime? do i fail to act, leaving it with an eternity of suffering?
since i have to look in the mirror when shaving, what looks back at me in these moments of inactivity? am i not allowing the loss of my soul?
i hope to be motivated by my sense of self as a member of the human race, without using my concerns for my children and their children!
To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan
I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.
Dear Soren,
In this world that is changing before our eyes, I believe that is our task: standing unflinchingly on the side of love, connecting with others, and forging ahead together.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will convince my family to switch their gas appliances to electric.
Dear Abigail and Olivia,
What stories will you tell them about our generation? Will we be heroes or villains?

How can I help you save the world and our country?
Dear Nieces, Nephews, & Future Children…
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.
Dear Future Sami Lee,
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”.
Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,
This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.
Dear Students,
I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.
Dear Elliott,
We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.
Dear Kai and Leah,
I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.
