Dear daughter,

Right now, things in the world seem a little grim. Things with the climate especially seem hopeless, but I’m writing to you to tell you I want to do better. In the past few years, I’ve learned so much about this Earth – its beauty, its power, and its value. But a lot of my actions, as well a the actions of others, haven’t communicated these truths.

I want you to know that I want to – and will do – better. I want to build a better world so that you can live a life where the Earth is valued, healed, and life-giving. To do that, there’s so much I need to do. But, I’ll do it for you – because you deserve this world.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.
 

To my sons,

I’m voting with climate change as a top priority. I’ve tried to teach you boys that we need to clean up after ourselves and take care of the earth. I promise to continue doing these actions and more, for your sake.
 

To my children,

I hope that the fervor that is building continues to build and spread and that the world has made progress to minimize the effects of our past actions.
 

To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.
 

Dear Evan,

We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
 

Dear Corey,

I promise to do all within my power to create a world that’s safe for you and your generation.
 

Hi buddy,

I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.
 

Rachel and Noelle,

I hope in a small way this helps your world.
 

Dear Nova and Remi,

I wish for you both that another kind of life has been discovered, one of peace, moderation and concern for all life.
 

Querido amanhã,

Eu quero esse mundo melhor para você, onde o povo tem voz, seja lá quem você seja, eu vou fazer se tudo para proporcionar um mundo melhor para você.
 

Dear Jamie and Jason,

My inspiration was the two of you. It started with thinking about the world you were inheriting and what your future was going to be like. But then you taught me how important it is to listen to you – to listen to young people.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to contact my local officials on passing measures against climate change
