Dear Future Children,

I hope that the world you live in now is better than the world I am living in today. Too many years have gone by that have negatively impacted the planet that is so dear to us. The Earth has provided us with land that us humans do not maintain or protect, air that we do not keep clean, and water that we do not conserve. Although mankind has slowly destroyed the planet over time, I do believe that there is hope for a better tomorrow, a better future for you and the people in your life, and all around the world.

Climate change continues to be the biggest threat to your environment, and I have every last hope that the people taking initiative today will succeed in providing a healthier future for you and your planet. I hope that by the time you are born, we will stop using fossil fuels that are so threatening to the environment, and that we reduce the global atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions. This will guarantee you a better life.

I have worked towards obtaining a more sustainable lifestyle, in which I strive to conserve my resources, cut down my use of transportation, and to reduce my carbon footprint in hopes of giving you the life that you deserve. It is unfair to leave you with a planet that was so badly treated by past generations, including my own. I hope that by reading this letter, you will become aware of just how important it is to be considerate and cautious of your impact on the planet.

It is always important to bring awareness to the realm of sustainability and environmental cautiousness. It is your responsibility to pass on this information to future generations. Last but not least, I wish you, your children, and their children a wonderful life. Do not forget to not only take care of the planet, but also to take care of yourself.

To my children,

I hope that the fervor that is building continues to build and spread and that the world has made progress to minimize the effects of our past actions.
 

Dear Annie and Eric,

I hope that this life of good things is not just yours to enjoy, but that you also have decided to fight for others to have this life, too.
 

Dear friends,

Rather than exploit it, destroy it, poison it, why don’t we just enhance the beauty of it, guard it, and love it?
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to ride a bike and take a smart train.

I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
 

To my future Niece,

While I will work my hardest to create any positive change I can, you must continue this quest. You cannot give up hope, and you must always remember that the beauty on this Earth is worth saving.
 

To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,

Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII.  I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
 

I will recycle stuff I found.
 

Dear Kai and Leah,

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.
 

Queridos filhos Heloísa e Henzo,

Tenho muito orgulho da minha função (agente de fiscalização ambiental do Acre) pois é através dela que posso dar um pouco do meu suor, para que no futuro ambos possam ter um lugar melhor para viver.
 

Dear Me of 2050,

I promise that I will plant more trees in places where there are none.
 

Aos meus sobrinhos queridos, Ana Laura, Luis Carlos e Helloísa,

Talvez eu não esteja viva para ver alguma mudança, mas espero que vocês vejam e tenham um mundo melhor em 2050. Plantei um ipê rosa e outro amarelo, que eles estejam florindo até 2050.
