Dear future child,

I want this beautiful Earth to still be here when you are older. I want you to be able to enjoy it like I have.

Climate change is happening as I write this to you now. It’s been happening, we see its affects everywhere, yet some people chose not to believe in science. We need positive change, we need it now, before it’s too late.

When you turn 16 and can explore the world on your own, I want you to do just so. I want you to visit every forest, every lake, every ocean you can. We live in a beautiful place, even if it’s hidden by factories and landfills.

I promise, I am doing everything I can to give you this opportunity in your future. There is still hope for our planet.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Future

My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.
 

My dear granddaughter Christy,

My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.
 

Dear Seamus and Tuva,

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.
 

Greetings 2050 earthling,

Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will take short showers, eat less meat, and buy local more often.
 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
 

Dear Lila

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.
 

Dear future Michelle,

As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.
 

To my children,

If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.
 

Dear 2050,

Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.
 

To the Future Generations,

I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?
