Hello Future,

It’s hard to imagine what the world is gonna be like tomorrow, let alone a few decades in the future. I can only hope that in the future, the world gets it together. Right now there is so much uncertainty and violence in the world, I hope we can get to a point where things are more peaceful and predictable. As of today, the White House has finally somewhat acknowledged the fact that climate change is a real and human caused thing. I believe this is one small step in the right direction. I do hope that things keep moving in this positive direction. I do believe it will, simply because I don’t think we can possibly regress any further. Additionally, I hope that we start to make progress towards FIXING the problem that we have caused. Instead of the debate being whether or not climate change is a real thing, hopefully in the future there are conversations revolving around what more we can do to counteract the effects of climate change. Hopefully those conversation also include ways to assist those who are most effected by climate change.

To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,

Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII.  I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.

Dear Lucy,

The clock ticks, time passes, and the earth and all of its inhabitants move closer to dangerous boundaries we can dimly discern but cannot see clearly.
