Earth Day girl. I love you and your sister bigger than the universe. And bigger than time and space. You are the meaning of my life. And yet I look at you here, and it is a simple pleasures moment. From day to night and every moment in between, you are both my favorite part of life. I am such a proud mom.”

8. Jamie Lee Curtis: The OG scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis, also went for a hike, penning a promise to the planet on her Instagram, to boot. “Mother. We love you. We need you.

You are our Mother. We thank you for our lives.” Here’s hoping hers is an oath we can collectively keep.
