Dear Cris,

Typing this up in 2020, it seems that the future is in jeopardy. This pandemic doesn’t seem to be coming to a close anytime soon, yet it seems like the climate has changed since the start of stay-at-home orders around the globe. I go to sleep thinking about how the future might be and whether or not we have changed our ways for the better. I want to be able to live a life without any hardships due to our mistakes in our current time. I want my future children to prosper in a world that they can enjoy. I hope things change for the better.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Makena,

Sweetie, you deserve clean air, water and soil. You deserve to thrive in an environment that supports you.
 

Dear Finley,

I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
 

Dear future generations,

It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.
 

My dear granddaughter Christy,

My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.
 

Querida Alê,

Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.
 

Dear A and C,

You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.
 

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 Tomorrow,

I will aim to lower my carbon footprint!
 

Dear Tomorrow,

The transformation of human consciousness
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to clean the earth.
 

Dear Grandchildren,

I hope we can pass on a better place to live so that my grandchildren and their future children can enjoy the beauty of nature that our wonderful God has given us.
