Dear Earth,
How are you today?
To my daughter and son,
Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
dear me in 2030,
I am smelling burning plastic!
Dear Tomorrow,
I have solar and will be getting an electric car next week
Dear Evan,
We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
Dear My Future Child,
I want to sculpt a world for you where you can play outside without gas masks, an ocean to swim in without toxins, and a thick lively forest for you to wander.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to not waste food and eat locally grown food.
For my most dear and only daughter,
And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through.
I will recycle stuff I found.
Dear 2050,
Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.
Dear Ellie,
My heart is an ocean of love for all the children facing a life of climate catastrophe.
Dear humankind of today and tomorrow,
I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.
To my dear children in the year 2050,
I don’t wish to go backwards, but I do wish we would slow down and design our brave new world with more care.
