Today, I promise to keep my spaces clean and my environment cleaner.
Today, I promise to keep my spaces clean and my environment cleaner. I want to plant trees and keep my home full of life, clean air, and healthy attitudes. In effort to positively impact climate change, I want to continue to compost and make sure everything I cook with, snack on, and drop goes into the bin in order to keep all of MY organic waste out the landfill. Individual impacts are real and stopping my bad habits might inspire others to change theirs, so why not try!
Dear Future Me,
I hope that when we look back on these years, you’ll see that humanity can be good. That we joined together and fixed it because of we don’t, who will?
dear tomorrow,
I hope that the state of the environment becomes a part of everyday discourse.
My Mini & Lou,
Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
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.
To my great-great grandchildren,
I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.
I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.
Dear Future Grandchild,
We can learn a lot about how to treat others from stories that have been passed from generation to generation.
To our future generations,
I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.
To my fellow adventurers,
Don’t stop looking for adventures.
Dear future 82-year old me,
29 years later, I wish I still can ride bike and go some lovely places in nature. Sky is blue and air is fresh, I will be shining under the sun.
Dear Kids,
I know it’s long past time to wake up. You deserve a future in which drought, famine, and war are not all your children ever know; the choices my generation makes now will determine your future.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to never use a plastic straw.
Dear Future Me,
I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.
