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.
To older Rochelle,
You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
Dear Tomorrow
I promise to encourage myself and others to recycle more.
To the future generations,
I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.
Dear Kai and Leah,
I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.
Querido amanhã,
Sempre é bom ajudar a natureza.
Dear Erica and Matthew,
I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.
Dear Gabriel,
When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.
To my future self,
It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
To my children,
If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.
Dear future Child or Grandchild,
Climate is undeniably changing but it is not top priority.
Dear Earth,
I will keep the air clean so everyone can see the sunset.
Dear Society,
If we work together to spread the awareness of what is occurring today, we will be able to prevent it from continuing into the tomorrow.
