Dear future Child…

I picture you playing in the sand and ocean just as I did, however, you may come across some our challenges as the past generations (including my own) have put up some barriers. You may see litter lined on the shores, trash in the oceans, or the effects of the rising sea level. Who knows, maybe will increasing temperatures you will be on this beach at any time of the year. As I do not want this for you, I promise to reanalyze and fix my carbon footprint, to mitigate my negative impacts on the environment and to treat the earth like the home it is. I will attend protests so that my voice is heard and hopefully policy makers hear so that they can make change on behalf of everyone. I can start small, so today, I will not eat that steak I was going to buy, but instead make veggie burgers.

Dear Nieces, Nephews, & Future Children…

If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

 

Dear sons,

I’ve been so busy since 2012 working towards getting a price on carbon.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to use a refillable bottle, bring my own resusable spoon/form wherever I go, use clean personal care products (without chemicals).

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.
 

Dear Tara,

Each of us only has so much power and the problem is HUGE, but I worked at this every day.
 

Dear Grandchildren,

So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.
 

Dear Alba:

There is still a lot of beauty and I will do what I can to keep it from slipping away.
 

Dear Yasmine,

I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.
 

Dear child,

The journey of humanity does not take us to Mars like the world now likes to believe. It takes us home to our true self where there is no separate self. Where we are all one. You know all this. Look after yourself my child, look after your brother, your friends, your children, all the animals and the whole planet. Love them like there is no tomorrow.
 

Dear Alyssa,

I pray that more and more fathers will realize that to love their children well, they have to love and respect the ecological systems around them too.
 

Rachel and Noelle,

I hope in a small way this helps your world.
 

Dear loved ones in the future,

Even if it pains me to imagine how things are back home in Puerto Rico at the moment, I know things will flourish again. The land will heal, but we need to help it.
