Dear Children,

Climate change is incredibly real and incredibly scary. Though it may seem too big of a task to bear on your shoulders, take it head on anyways, as I plan to. It is imperative for my future, which is also yours, to sacrifice many behaviors that harm your environment (long showers, supporting big food corporations, using non-renewable energy). Instead, eat and purchase organically and sustainably, take short and cooler showers, use appliances sparingly, always search for more ways to be environmentally friendly.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear old dude Mårten,

I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.
 

Dear my future child,

I promise you, I am going to do everything I can to save this planet for you. I won’t let you down, I swear.
 

Dear future Child or Grandchild,

Climate is undeniably changing but it is not top priority.
 

To My Children and My Future Grandchildren,

People are an amazing race and, if we have the will, I believe we have the ingenuity and resources to fix the harm we’ve done.
 

To older Rochelle,

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
 

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.
 

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 Rowan and Anaka,

If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?
 

Dear Tomorrow

I hope that environmental issues are a thing of the past.
 

Dear Alex and Vivian,

This is my most important work.
 

Dear Birds,

will continue championing land preservation and the restoration of woodland, prairie and wetland habitats. I will not stop advocating for “bird friendly” legislation to make cities safer for your passage.
 

To my precious grandchildren, Emma, Maya, Maddie and Will,

With love and a great hope for the future, a future that will be healthy and sustainable for you, my precious grandchildren.
