Dear Daughter/Son,

I am writing you this letter on March 1st 2018. You probably won’t see this letter until you are all grown up and already have kids of your own, and by that time I hope it’s not too late. I am writing you this letter in hopes that you have followed after my footsteps in trying to preserve this beautiful Earth that our family has called home for thousands and thousands of years. Right now, the earth is starting to change due to global warming and if we don’t do anything about it, there will be serious consequences. Humans are producing more waste and carbon dioxide than ever before, and these harmful byproducts are being released into the atmosphere. Because of this, the protective layers of our Earth that are necessary for many species to survive such as the ozone layer are getting depleted. Because of this, more sunlight is hitting the Earth and causing global warming, the extinction of species, and severe weather patterns.

The Earth is getting so warm that the polar bears will no longer have any ice to live on and they are dying of exhaustion because they can’t swim indefinitely. The sea level is rising, hurricanes and storms are getting more severe and more frequent, and people are running out of fresh water. Because of human waste and production, we are throwing off earth’s natural cycles and slowly killing our mother Earth and everything that inhabits it.

Although most of society knows what we are doing to the Earth, people aren’t making a big enough effort to slow down this destruction. I am and have been making a conscious effort to leave less of a harmful impact on this Earth by researching the effects of global warming and spreading the word through conversation while simultaneously cutting back on my ecological footprint. I just want you to know that I am doing all that I can so that you can live a safe and healthy life, just like myself and my mother and her mother have lived. I hope that you get to experience all the natural wonders of this world. I hope you get to see polar bears somewhere other than in a history book. I hope that you have enough resources to live a happy life and I hope that you understand that your mother did the best she could to give you and your kids a healthy and beautiful life.

Love,

Jasmine

Dear future me,

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.
 

To my daughter,

The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I’ll buy only food that I plan to eat before it spoils.
 

Dear Sander,

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.
 

Future Message to Earth,

Hope there will be no more droughts,
And no more pollution with which we fought,
Regarding every human should be taught,
Ensuring that we uniformly follow these thoughts.

Queridos filhos Heloísa e Henzo,

Tenho muito orgulho da minha função (agente de fiscalização ambiental do Acre) pois é através dela que posso dar um pouco do meu suor, para que no futuro ambos possam ter um lugar melhor para viver.
 

We will look back on our time here and ask, “What did I do?”

If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.

I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you.
 

Dear Future Kids Like Me,

What I hope for future kids like me is that they continue to ride the groundswell of climate change support all the way into action.
 

Dear Future,

I hope that things have cooled down. I hope that people and governments have come together to save our earth. I hope that everyone is able to breath clean air, drink clean water and see the beauty in nature that I do. I promise to do my best to take part in repairing the damage we’ve done so that my hopes may come true.
 

Caro Giovanni,

Dobbiamo aiutare nel conservare il bello che c’è nel nostro pianeta.
