We were raised very similarly but when I left the nest, I learned about what climate change is and how it could limit our time together. I love how similar and yet so different we are. I would love for for both of us to have children one day to see all that they could offer the world. I would hate to not be able to see that. I promise to make changes in my life as if they depended on that future.
Dear Owen and Vivian,
Here’s the biggest secret: I KNOW it will have. We may not realize how, but we have changed the world.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will eat vegan, organic, locally grown, and seasonal.
To my future Niece,
While I will work my hardest to create any positive change I can, you must continue this quest. You cannot give up hope, and you must always remember that the beauty on this Earth is worth saving.
Dear Tomorrow,
Less meat, more on my feet!
Dear Chay and Kate,
Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.
Greetings 2050 earthling,
Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.
Dear Grandchildren,
So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.

Dear Children and Grandchildren,
I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.
To My Fellow Two-Spirits,
Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I’ll replace our lights with LED lights.
Dear Future Me: Only open after March 4th, 2050
I don’t regret my past ventures, nor do I believe I will regret my future ventures, but I’ve learned that I’ve needed to manifest these experiences into actions of sustainable development and conservation and protection of our environment.
