I hope you have become someone you’re proud of, regarding both your character and the footprint you have left on this world so far. If you are not proud, and even if you are, be smart with your choices, and think of those other than yourself. Think of your children, their children, and everyone else. It’s not just you around here, you know. Do good.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will do whatever I can to protect and preserve mother Earth for future generations.
Dear Zhengqing Gao,
Fortunately, you didn’t get injured while the wildfire burned your school.
Dear Maya,
Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.
To my daughters,
In order for you two be happy and healthy, we all need to work hard to prevent climate change.
I love you Earth.
Dear Evan,
What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.” Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
To the Three most Beautiful Souls I could ever Know,
I promise to keep your Love at the forefront of my every move. I will make personal changes and I will learn more, so that I can contribute to a healthier environment in a meaningful way.
Dear Chay and Kate,
Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.
Dear old dude Mårten,
I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will encourage composting at work.
Dear June and Colin,
I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.
To my child,
For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
