Dear Elliot, Audrey, and Miles,

You all are so very young, just starting to become the people who you will grow to be. I hope to help you to strive to be more than yourselves, more than your own wants and to embrace the world with open arms and curiosity. To do this, I promise to lead my life in a way that you would be proud of. I will reduce my consumerism, be active in my community and engaged in politics that work to preserve the earth and it species. We have already lost so many animal and plant species and more will follow that path to extinction, but we have an important opportunity right now to be heroes for future generations.  I promise I will fight so that you will know a world that is full of life, animals, trees, plants, and flowers and so that you will not have to bear witness to the suffering that climate change will bring.

Love,

Linda

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.
 

Dear Luna,

I will never give up on you, on humanity, on the future.
 

Dear Tara,

I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.
 

My future husband,

I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.
 

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 my future family,

I will promise to help climate change as much as I can.
 

I pledge to use less plastic!
 

Dear Beloved Children,

As time progresses, there is hope that value will be placed on all living organisms, including humans, plants, and animals. Life will move at a slower pace, and being on your own time and moving at your individual pace will be the typical way of life. I consider this way of life good living, and I hope that future generations will live on this earth as it was once intended to live in peace and harmony.
