Dear future baby… maybe
More Messages to the Future
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.
To my daughters,
In order for you two be happy and healthy, we all need to work hard to prevent climate change.
Oh My Lovely Faizan,
I love you my son. You are waking up now. Hopefully tomorrow, more of us will, too.
Dear Tomorrow,
The only way to survive it, even if you don’t feel like you’re winning, is to keep your hands on the rope.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.
To the generation after mine,
But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will take short showers, eat less meat, and buy local more often.
Dear future Child or Grandchild,
Climate is undeniably changing but it is not top priority.
Happy 34th birthday my son.
To laugh at our efforts as they were on such a small scale, too small some would say to make a difference, and then smile when we think about the number families just like ours that did the same thing.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to drive less and walk more.
Dear Tomorrow and Dearest Lex,
I do believe that the collective power of everyone’s best efforts can curb the worst effects of climate change, and provide you with a more stable and secure future.
Dear Hannah, Harper and future baby of Ryan and Colleen Lane,
I will not stop fighting for a more sustainable future, your future.
