Dear citizen of 2050,

In this year (2050), technology would have reduced physical human efforts a 10,000-fold as compared to 2016.

I would see:

  • more social and economic equity across nations; more food to eat;
  • five times as much water from thrice as many forests and urban greenery;
  • twice as much wildlife;
  • little or no domestic or other waste in public; stiff penalties for industrial and business waste in public;
  • fewer cars and other private vehicles; buses, trains and other public transport available 24 x 7, at affordable prices;
  • no malaria, polio, tuberculosis, and diabetes; affordable health treatment costs;
  • faster public justice and legal systems.

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 Students,

My act of love will be to use all the power I have, during the rest of my life, to stop climate change.
 

Dear me,

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 the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
