I promise I will do everything I can to try to help save us from climate change and to achieve a sustainable future. I hope the governments and the corporations of our world will come to their senses and really enact dramatic change so the Earth is as wonderful for you as it has been for me.
Dear Evan,
We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
Dear Alex and Vivian,
This is my most important work.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to sign up for 100% renewable energy.
Dear Future Afnan,
You should make a time machine and come back to past and solve all the problems.
Dear X—, Dear A—,
As with our struggles to eliminate police brutality, as with hate crimes, so it is with climate change – there are actually a lot of people out there who care.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will work to restore the wetlands.
Dear Elliot and Alana,
But being truthful, I know we are not yet on the path that will lead to the change that is needed; but it is visible.
Dear Future,
“I knew you would want to know how the future turned out. You got so anxious about climate change as we grew older. By coming back, I thought I could help you with that.”
Loved One,
That we all have a role to play no matter how small, we all can make a difference.
Dear future generations,
I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.
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.
To my dear children in the year 2050,
I don’t wish to go backwards, but I do wish we would slow down and design our brave new world with more care.
