Sacha Hebert Wrote A Letter

My Dearest Child,

As I write to you today, the words of Pope Francis in Laudate Deum have stirred something deep within me. He encourages us to “begin to think of ourselves differently, in a humbler but more fruitful way.” I will soon cradle you, little one. In the meantime and from now on, for the Earth's sake, I make these heartfelt commitments:

I promise to make sustainable choices and do my part to protect the environment. I'll pick eco-friendly products and practices to make this happen.

I'll vote for policymakers and support programs that put our planet's health first and positively change our community.

Together, we’ll discover the remarkable wonders of nature! I'll teach you to love and respect our beautiful planet, our only home.

I can't wait for the day when I can finally hold you close. I’m only one person, but I will do everything possible to help heal this world for you.

Here’s to fresh air, lush nature, and endless opportunities.

With all my love,

Your Dad, Sacha
