Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and your future.

I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.

I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.

Fighting for a system that rewards care for people and planet over profit.

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.

It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.

I am so sorry we didn’t realize this predicament sooner.
