Hello!
My name is Esperanza Rodriguez but you can call me Espy. I’m eight-years-old and I live in San Francisco, CA. I have dark brown hair and I like to draw.
I’m writing to share my story about climate change that has been impacting me, my community, and the Earth. This matters to me because if we don’t help stop climate change, the world will break and we won’t have a home. Mr. President, I ask that you support this cause by doing your best to make sure everybody at least tries to help stop it.
Thank you for your help, and I hope that you can try to make sure that people help stop climate change.
Sincerely,
Esperanza
