Past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and hunted all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left.

Dear future generations,

Please try to treat each other better. Always do things to make your race look good. It’s true that past generations were not considerate enough of the future generations, however you need to change that trend and always look out for the future generations.

People should remember to be more respectful; even small things like being more respectful to the neighborhood you live in: practice little things like smiling and saying hello to your neighbor when you’re going out to your car or picking up your dog’s poop or not throwing your cigarette butt on the sidewalk or picking up a little piece of plastic that somebody misplaced and put it in the garbage. Those little things show respect and they will build a sense of respect for yourself, for your neighbors, and from your neighbors.
Everybody has always taken  so much from nature: past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and hunted all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left. We really have to consider trying to rebuild mother nature for future generations, remembering that we won’t even see the results during our lifetimes —  it could be something that we all work for so that sometime in the future, our great, great, great grandchildren can have a much nicer experience in nature. They will know that we worked hard to put that in place for them.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Great Grandchildren,

If you are reading this, you probably inherited my fascination with ancestry, and the way it uncovers incredible stories of unlikely survival.
 

Dear future generations,

I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.

 

Dear A and C,

You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.
 

To my sons,

I’m voting with climate change as a top priority. I’ve tried to teach you boys that we need to clean up after ourselves and take care of the earth. I promise to continue doing these actions and more, for your sake.
 

To My Grandchildren,

It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures.  These are the confessions of a climate activist:
 

To my children,

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to turn old shirts into produce bags.
 

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.
 

Dear future Michelle,

As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.
 

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.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to stop using electricity too much.
 

Dear Darlings,

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.
