Dear Loved One,

It breaks my heart seeing how quickly global warming is growing and growing, leaving an enormous effect in our planet. I hope that there is still some of the beautiful world left for you to admire and cherish. I hope that little by little everyone will have made a positive change in the world. Today, I am blessed enough to enjoy all four seasons but will they forever exist? Global warming is only increasing and as a result, we have been experiencing big hurricanes in the East Coast. Thankfully, scientists have been able to detect most hurricanes before they occur in order to evacuate people out of danger. Global climate changes can cause irregular weather patterns that can prevent scientists and researchers from preparing for natural disasters. The greener environment we create, the better the Earth will be. It is up to you to make the world better. You will not change the entire world by yourself but you must take that first step in order for others to follow. Just simply wearing more layers during a cold season will diminish the amount of electricity you use, a step closer into saving this world. I hope you, along with others, are able to leave the planet better than how it was prior and above all, experience a world that God has intended for us to enjoy. This includes a sunny summer and a cold, snowy winter all balanced perfectly and a great amount of land that can be used to plant and enjoy food without fear of health effects such as contamination. Take care of the world, you only get one.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Children,

I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.
 

To my child,

For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.
 

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 Kai and Leah,

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.
 

Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.
 

Salutations to whoever may be reading this,

I promise to do my part. I promise to be the change I want to see in the world, and I hope that you, reader, will do the same.
 

Dear Bella,

I promise that I shall continue to do all that is within my capabilities to leave you a world where there is fairness and justice.
 

I promise to take shorter showers.
 

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 Alyssa,

I pray that more and more fathers will realize that to love their children well, they have to love and respect the ecological systems around them too.
 

Dear Gabriel,

One day ten or twenty years from now, when you look back from the future, you will be able to clearly see the entire path.
