Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.
Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability. From that day forth I made sustainable lifestyle choices any way I could. Although one person’s actions may be small, they can still change the world. I hope I did just that.
P.S. Oh…and if all the coral reefs are completely white and dead by then, here’s a photo of what they looked like in Belize of 2019.
Dear Alanna and Valeria,
I promise you to keep trying, to keep educating, to keep pushing our elected officials to act and protect your health now and in the future.
Dear Rosie,
But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.
Dear future generations,
Young people are making a lot of noise and politicians are now listening.
Dear Potential Future Kiddo,
To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating. Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
We will look back on our time here and ask, “What did I do?”
If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.
dear future children,
As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.
Dear AC,
I think a lot about where the right place to live is.
My darling girls,
I can be brave enough to wake up.
To older Rochelle,
You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
Dear my future child,
I promise you, I am going to do everything I can to save this planet for you. I won’t let you down, I swear.
For my children,
If we haven’t done enough and the world you’re living on is apocalyptic or if you’re living on another planet then I’m deeply sorry and just know that I believe in you and I know that you are both strong and smart enough to handle anything.
Dear Lucie,
Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.
