I promise I will try my hardest to ensure you will live in a safe and healthy world for your entire life. I want all the best for you and will do anything I can to help the environment. Even after you’re gone, I will continue to make strong efforts towards preserving the earth for my family.
Dear grandchild,
There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
Dear Rosie,
But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.
To my darling ones,
And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age
Dear Brothers & Sisters All Across Mother Earth,
I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.
Dear next generation,
Please don’t wait to see the adverse effects instead adopt that river, stream, lake or ocean to make the world a better place.
Dear Jackson,
I feel deeply that it is my moral obligation as your Mom to protect your future and allow you to inherit a clean and healthy planet.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will use less fossil fuels.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will do my part to help ensure that there is an Earth left when we are done borrowing it.
Dear Earth,
I will keep the air clean so everyone can see the sunset.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to take my bike everywhere. Taking Golden Gate Transit to SF tonight.
Dear Ellis,
So, dear heart, I am doing everything I can as the situation worsens.
