Dear Future Child,

I hope that you are able to appreciate the world the same way I did as a kid. I hope that you are able to enjoy all the seasons, summer, spring, fall and winter. I loved, and still love to play in the snow, go for a hike in the fall, look at all the different colored leaves and hang out with friends on the beach. I love to be outside, appreciate the fresh air and explore new places. I love the freeing feeling of swimming in the ocean and riding the waves. I hope that the generations before you didn’t ruin these experiences for you and you can appreciate the world and everything it has to offer. Climate change is very serious and I promise I will do everything I can to make sure that you live in the same beautiful world that I do. Climate change is something that has been going on for thousands of years now, but recently it has gotten significantly worse. There are more natural disasters, droughts, famines and fires all over the world. This is all because people have not cared enough to change their lifestyles to make their world a better place. There is so much pollution and greenhouse gasses that are dramatically changing our planet, and I hope to be able to make a slight change for you. I will do everything I can to ensure you live in a safe, healthy environment. I will inform people about what the future holds and teach them how to make a change.

From,
Your Mom
