We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.

Dear friends,

 

I am writing this letter to register my expectations for the future. Nowadays, we have several problems that are impacting the environment.  If we do not become aware about these problems our future will be severely impaired.

The necessities from society are unlimited and the natural resources are scarce. We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.

An important issue to think about is the relation between our eating habits and the food industry. We keep a diet rich in animal protein and this contributes to the deforestation of green areas and waste of water. The food industry is greatly responsible for consuming water and generating plastic waste. Because of that we need to make choices that matter to the preservation of the environment.

Now, I’m going to reduce my animal protein consumption as well as make other important choices thinking about the future. I hope you  make those choices too for the good of our future.

Stay well,

Josy

More Messages to the Future

 

To my darling ones,

And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age
 

Querida Futuro Yo,

Quiero que puedas decirme que lo hemos logrado, y que el mundo hoy es un poquito mejor porque nosotras pusimos de nuestra parte.
 

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.
 

Isabelle minha querida neta!

Nossa vida só tem qualidade se tem natureza ao nosso redor.
 

Dear Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
 

Dear future love,

A culture of consumption is the reason that my world faces such an ecological crisis, it is both necessary and proper to address the fundamental mindsets that have created such a destructive culture.
 

To my Maria and her children,

I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying.
 

Dear future family and friends,

This is our house.
 

To my dear son Zac,

I promise to raise you as a loving-nature human.
 

To my future children,

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.
 

I promise to take shorter showers.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to turn old shirts into produce bags.
