I’m in a state of disbelief about the world we’re leaving you to live in, because we’ve been such poor stewards of it. I promise to angle for change through multiple means: individual actions, influencing our local community, and lobbying for systemic change. I promise to look for levers that have broader influence, like advocating for Indigenous ways of knowing to shape policies. I promise not to give up.
To our sweet grandson Caleb,
We want a safe and beautiful world for you, little Caleb, and for your children and grandchildren. We promise to do our part.
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
Annalu minha filha amada,
Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.
To My Future Child(ren),
The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?
Hello spawn,
I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you.
Dear Eleanor,
It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
Dear child,
The journey of humanity does not take us to Mars like the world now likes to believe. It takes us home to our true self where there is no separate self. Where we are all one. You know all this. Look after yourself my child, look after your brother, your friends, your children, all the animals and the whole planet. Love them like there is no tomorrow.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use a water bottle.
Dear love,
The world is facing some serious crises right now as Viral pandemic and war situation between Ukraine and Russia.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to work with my family and neighbors to reduce carbon output.
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 Ari and Levi,
Luckily, we have figured out ways to build things without making the air dirty, and we are trying very hard to get more people to switch over to this new way as fast as we can.
