Dear future generations,

I first would like to start off by apologizing for the mess we left you all in; the world is a pretty materialistic place and tends to care more about money and power than preserving the planet in which we live. It’s pretty hypocritical if you think about it, because (at the rate we’re currently effecting the Earth) once it becomes unlivable, it is no longer about money or wealth, but survival.

Moreover, I’d like to continue by mentioning that I am doing my part as a citizen, by recycling, conserving water, carpooling, and doing everything in my power to negate climate change. Unfortunately, I do not have much pull right now, but hopefully one day I can make a difference. Also, by voting for politicians who legitimately care about the wellbeing of the environment, we can help to save the Earth.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise: community awareness of the climate crisis.
 

To My Future Nephews,

I want you to see those corn fields in the north, the beautiful beaches down in Florida, and the stars in the woods at night.
 

Dear Jamie and Jason,

My inspiration was the two of you. It started with thinking about the world you were inheriting and what your future was going to be like. But then you taught me how important it is to listen to you – to listen to young people.
 

Dear future generations,

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 Emilia and Tommy,

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to sign up for 100% renewable energy.
 

Dear Maya, Emilio and Daniel,

We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.
 

Dear Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
 

Dear Elliot and Alana,

But being truthful, I know we are not yet on the path that will lead to the change that is needed; but it is visible.
 

I pledge to use less plastic!
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to take my bike everywhere. Taking Golden Gate Transit to SF tonight.
 

Dear future self,

I am writing this to keep myself accountable and push myself towards taking action towards a sustainable future. I hope children of the future can still appreciate the wonders that nature and all its beings have to offer, appreciate the beauty in the world around us.
