Dear Future Earth,

I look at you and thank you for all that you offer me. I look at the sky and the ocean and think about the endlessness that’s behind it. I think about the great memories I’ve experienced living on you. Living on a planet with miles and miles of new land, new cultures, new people, and new inventions is a gift that many people seem to take advantage of. Many look at you and destroy you in a heartbeat, but I look at you and take it all in and breathe you in. The way your rivers run and how your waves crash on the sand, the sound of raindrops hitting the concrete and the after smell it brings the air, the forests that seem to be endless and dark at night and the way you bring happiness to everyone when you shine bright with green hills and cool winds that blow through in the summer. I thank you for all the beauty you bring and I wish for you to stay this way for eternity. I hope future generations take care of you and look at you the way I look at you. Don’t leave us, don’t die out because of global warming, don’t turn brown because of droughts, don’t crumble because of earthquakes, don’t drown because of tsunamis and don’t be heartbroken when people hate you because they’re only mad at themselves. Take all your beauty and make it better where people look at you and smile, smile because they’re grateful they live on a beautiful planet like you. Dear future generations, take care of the earth, she’s one of a kind.

Dear future niece or nephew,

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.

 

Dear Evan,

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.”  Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.

 

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 tomorrow,

Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences.

 

Queridos nietas/nietos,

Creo que debo hacer más. Por ello, he decidido escribir esta breve carta para empezar un proceso en el que vaya escribiendo más cartas, conforme vaya teniendo más claridad de mis posibles contribuciones.

 

Dear Gabriel,

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise my next vehicle will be an EV.

 

My dearest Paloma Bear,

I want the very best for you and for generations to come. There is only one planet earth. Your mommy and I will make a genuine effort to make an impact to protect it for you.

 

Dear ACS, LG, CM, MCD, AH, MS, AS, GL, and ERD,

I commit to demanding that politicians that want my vote, my time, my substantial help and expertise are people who seek to address climate change seriously and talk about it boldly.

 

Dear Josh, LeeAnn, & Jessica,

I am very proud to know that You will treat Our Earth, Our Natural Gift, Our Playful Backyard with the same Awesome Respect that We give to each other, as a Family – Knowing that Our Earth, is Your Child Now.

 

To my daughter,

The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.

 

Dear Nephew,

I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.
