Dear future family,

Today the LA traffic is clear and the usual smog in our skyline is not there. This is something that I wish it were like all the time but unfortunately this is only happening due to our current pandemic. Hopefully we can recover from this pandemic in a way that lowers our greenhouse emissions to allow this beautiful view to stand free of smog once again. Hopefully our use of renewable energy is our society’s main usage by the time you read this, if not let’s keep pushing for this, please!

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to become more educated on the global issues that face populations I can’t see

 

To the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.

 

Dear future child whatever your name is,

Climate change right now is really bad, I’m writing this during the COP26 conference in Glasgow (which is an hour away) and I’m listening to politicians talking about promises for the future. “If we fail, future generations will never forgive us.” -Boris Johnson

 

To my Kids,

I wish you all the best and always make sure that you can be proud of yourself and don’t need status-symbols for feeling nice.

 

Dear sons,

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

 

Dear Future Self,

It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.

 

Cari nipoti,

Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.

 

To my dear son,

Last year most of the world’s reefs turned white at some point, but because it was underwater you and your friends didn’t see.

 

Hi buddy,

I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to sign up for 100% renewable energy.

 

Dear Soren,

In this world that is changing before our eyes, I believe that is our task: standing unflinchingly on the side of love, connecting with others, and forging ahead together.

 

Dear Brady,

I will work everyday to combat climate change for your today, for your tomorrow!
