Dear my son Cobyn and any other children I have after him, and grandchildren thereafter.

I loved life and living, and being a mother most of all was my most precious days. As I grew older and realised the effect of the “carbon footprint ” on the world I couldn’t believe how consuming the world was and what damage we had done to the world and left behind for future generations.  After watching Before the Flood I have tried my hardest and best to reduce our footprint as a family in our every day life, recycling, reusing, using as less electric as possible, being more at one with nature and adopting a more natural way of life, through diet and being outdoors in the natural environment etc. I love you all very much and pray with my whole heart you all get to enjoy the world the way I did. Never waste a second live a full life. My love eternally Allana Milliken xxx

Ps I know your dad David John Milliken will agree with theses words. He was a huge part in our knowledge as a family to live healthier and wiser x

More Messages to the Future

 

To My Future Self,

This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.

 

Dear Maret,

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.

 

Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,

To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.

 

To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.

 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to recycle and compost.

 

Dear Tomorrow

Stay Cool and Save the Whales

 

Dear Lila

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

 

Caro Giovanni,

Dobbiamo aiutare nel conservare il bello che c’è nel nostro pianeta.

 

Son,

Make the most of every day because remember yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.

 

Dear Devon and Chloe

I hope that my work helping to make your schools more sustainable will be something you carry on as you grow older.

 

Dear future me,

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.
