Dear Future Generations,

I have live in the city my whole life and I would not think of living in anywhere else. However, when stress gets a little too much to handle, a walk in the park or just taking a trip to the lake calms me down and makes me feel peaceful again. I don’t know what the future will hold but I am hopeful that the future generations can experience these moments as well.

As of now, severe weather has sprung up in various of locations. There is lava coming out of Hawaii. There are more hurricane occurrences that wipe out cities like it was nothing. It is currently the end of May and we still have cold weather. The actions we are taking right now is not benefiting the world or our own society. For a long time, people are listening about these environmental issues but little have made effort to act to fix these issues. We must make sacrifices now to benefit in the long run. For those in the future generation, I hope the actions we are taking now is helping you in your time and I hope you continue the pattern to help your children as well. I promise to never stop doing what I can to help save the environment in whatever way I can.

To older Rochelle,

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
 

Caro Giovanni,

Dobbiamo aiutare nel conservare il bello che c’è nel nostro pianeta.
 

Dear future child,

We’re presenting at conferences, writing articles, and organizing events with the goal of mobilizing our profession to act on climate, and to help them understand that it will deeply impact our mission to preserve history for future generations.
 

Dear grandchild,

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
 

To My Friends, Family and Future Grandchildren,

I realize my reflection of the past, current and future state of the environment paints a grim and pessimistic picture, but I feel optimistic in our ability to turn planet Earth’s fate around if we all work together and commit to making a change.
 

To what we’ve overcome.

The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.
 

To my dear children in the year 2050,

I don’t wish to go backwards, but I do wish we would slow down and design our brave new world with more care.
 

To my daughter and son,

Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
 

For my children,

If we haven’t done enough and the world you’re living on is apocalyptic or if you’re living on another planet then I’m deeply sorry and just know that I believe in you and I know that you are both strong and smart enough to handle anything.
 

Dear Future Kids Like Me,

What I hope for future kids like me is that they continue to ride the groundswell of climate change support all the way into action.
 

Dear future me,

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.
 

I promise to plant trees and to turn off the lights.
