I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!

You both know I have made it my mission to get people to understand more about the state of our planet‘s climate and what was at stake.

We ran through the woods laughing, crying, and living.

I am getting your father on board too so that we can double charge this together.

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?

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

My promise is to continue to dedicate my life, my business, and my future to creating cultures that embrace environmental action not only for our own good, but the good of the countless other species hurting from climate change.

Awareness is key. Learning about this issue can seem like a small effort compared to other actions, but it’s the most important.

There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

The road I learned to ride my bike on, the field where I kicked my first soccer ball, and the park I ate my first ice cream cone at, could all be gone.
