Dear 22nd Century Youth,

Hello, I hope this letter finds you in good health.

If you’re reading this, it means humanity survived the twenty-first century. I’m curious how the world has changed in the 80 years since I wrote this letter. How technology has progressed over time. Is time travel already possible? Is the world becoming a better place? I’m hoping it does.
I sincerely hope that the government and citizens of the world have finally found a solution to the global warming problem. If not, please accept my apologies. Sorry, if you’re breathing polluted air, or if natural disasters are so intense that everyone is terrified when you hear about one on the news. If summer and winter are no longer enjoyable seasons.

I just wanted to let you know that I did everything I could to reduce my carbon footprint, and I apologize if it was not enough. I sincerely hope that it is not too late to persuade those in power to take action.

I wish you well and hope that the world becomes a better place to live. Please keep in mind that I, as a 21st-century youth, am concerned about, YOU, the next generation.

To future Geof,

Cool, now that your jetpack is put away in your garage where you keep your flying car; how did the aliens save us from our own destruction? Did they have this hyper advance vacuum that just sucks all the greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere?

 

Dear Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to recycle and compost.

 

Dear Jeremy,

We had a lot in common obviously, and our concern for the planet we live on was one of the many things we bonded over.

 

Dear Great Grandchildren,

I promise to educate myself and others about how we can protect and nourish our 1 PLANET

The most important thing in my life is you, which means that as your mom – I am doing my very best to make sure that when you read this letter, Earth is a cleaner and safer place for you and your children.

 

Dear future niece or nephew,

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.

 

Dear Sinchi,

The world is changing and it is happening fast.

 

Dear Peyton and Lucas,

I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!

 

Greetings 2050 earthling,

Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.
