Dear Tomorrow,

The actions that I can take is honestly, quite simple in writing, but will be much harder to do in reality. I will stop using single use plastic. I will use my reusable water bottle everyday, bring a reusable Starbucks cup to Starbucks, bring canvas bags to the grocery store. Additionally, I will try to eat less meat and take quicker showers to limit my water footprint. Most likely, the most impactful action I can take is support good climate change policy and hold my elected officials accountable.
While all of these actions I can take will help make my visualization a reality, I also know I cannot do it alone. I will encourage my friends to look at the data and make changes in their lives to help improve their footprints. All of this is not all I will do, I will continue to learn and educate myself and others so that all of us together can do more than the minimum to help fight this crisis.

Dear Jamie and Jason,

My inspiration was the two of you. It started with thinking about the world you were inheriting and what your future was going to be like. But then you taught me how important it is to listen to you – to listen to young people.
