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

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

We had a lot in common obviously, and our concern for the planet we live on was one of the many things we bonded over.

Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.

I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.

Despite all the difficulties, we are from a family whose principles are honesty and love for others, and that’s what I want to share with you.

I promise to make as many changes to my life as possible to make yours as great as mine.
