I hope what we are currently doing to the planet has not affected your way of life and that climate change is being acknowledged. Hopefully, all the beautiful aspects of nature are available to you and not in your textbooks. By the time you get this, California fires will hopefully not be a yearly scare. Finally, I hope nobody is being judged by the color their skin, sexual orientation or religion but by judged by the content of their character.
Dear Isaiah,
I am grateful for your soul, for your creativity, for your empathy. All these are precious treasures that you have to offer the world. They will help. I thank you for being in this world right now, so that you can offer these gifts at a time of transition.
The gift for next generation,
To save the big world, perhaps, we should change the mind from myself to my small family to my community.
Dear son,
Everyone should be grow at least 100 trees in his lifetime.
Dear Jeremy,
We had a lot in common obviously, and our concern for the planet we live on was one of the many things we bonded over.
Dear Future Self,
More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
Dear old dude Mårten,
I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.
To My Fellow Two-Spirits,
Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.
Dear Grandchild,
I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.
To our sweet grandson Caleb,
We want a safe and beautiful world for you, little Caleb, and for your children and grandchildren. We promise to do our part.
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.
Dear Children and Grandchildren,
I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for 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.
