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 Grandchildren — August and any others who were born after him
I joined millions of other people who wrote letters and made calls urging our leaders to do more to care for the planet.
Dear Eleanor,
It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
Anya,
All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.
Dear Tomorrow,
My climate promise is to stop using electricity too much.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to recycle and compost.
Dear Sinchi,
The world is changing and it is happening fast.
Hallo Clara,
Was wohl der Klimawandel im Jahr 2050 macht? und wer gerade in der Politik ist? Bei uns macht der Klimawandel gerade Vollgas und an der Macht ist Angela Merkel, seit 16 Jahren
What will climate change do in 2050? and who is in politics right now? Climate change is at full throttle here and Angela Merkel has been in power for 16 years.
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.
To My Future Self,
This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.
Dear Tomorrow,
I feel optimistic for you, tomorrow. I can feel a shift happening already.
Happy 34th birthday my son.
To laugh at our efforts as they were on such a small scale, too small some would say to make a difference, and then smile when we think about the number families just like ours that did the same thing.
Dear Nephew,
I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.
