Dear Future Generations,

I, much like many in this site, am writing to you in the year 2017. As an individual who lives in the very populated California, it is easy to say that global warming may seem to be very fleeting with how much we don’t see it in comparison to other places in the world. Presentable conditions vary everywhere but that doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. Its 2017, a time where we are known to advancing for the better but with such a dissatisfying president, we can assume that change isn’t completely a stable thing yet. So as I’m writing towards the year of 2050, I’m hoping – praying that people have conformed into a routine that puts our Earth’s priority first above all harmful needs. Sometimes I watch Disney’s Wall-e and wonder just how accurate that movie is because it’s very much possible. In 2050, I hope that we’re a lot less closer to that future. Not only for an older me, but for any possible children or relatives I’ll have. No one wants to live in a bad environment. Make a change, together.

Dear Grandchild,

I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.
 

To My Dear Grandchildren,

Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.
 

To My Future Children,

Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.
 

Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,

To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.
 

Dear Sadie,

You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.
 

Dear my future loved ones,

I hope that humans can live harmoniously with the earth.
 

To my grandchildren,

Ahora vivo en la ciudad de México y cuando debe de llover no llueve… cuando hace calor de verdad hace calor.
 

Dear children,

Despite all the difficulties, we are from a family whose principles are honesty and love for others, and that’s what I want to share with you.
 

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.
 

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.
 

To my daughter,

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

I promise to stop eating junk food.
