Dear future,

It’s 2020 and a lot of things are going on, there is a pandemic. I don’t know who will read this message but I have a lot to say about climate change. Many people might not be thinking about it right now, and many think it’s not a big deal. But if we don’t do something soon then we are jeopardizing the future, who knows what earth is going to be like in 2050. I hope the oceans are not surrounded by trash, I hope vehicles don’t need to run on gas, I hope everyone will be using reusable bags and straws, I hope all shampoo and body wash will be solid, and made with no packaging. I hope more clothing is recycled and reused. These are just some of the hopes I have for 2050, but none of this will happen if nobody takes notice of climate change any sooner. All I ever wanted was a healthy planet to live on, with no pollution making it harder to breathe. Please it’s not that hard I am not asking I am telling you, please just use the dam metal straw, or bring that reusable bag to the grocery store.

I wish you all a healthy, safe, and clean world. Full of happiness:)

I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
 

Dear Ari and Levi,

Luckily, we have figured out ways to build things without making the air dirty, and we are trying very hard to get more people to switch over to this new way as fast as we can.
 

Dearest Finlay,

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
