Dear Future Generations,

I’m sorry. I am so, so sorry for everything we have done. And everything we HAVEN’T done. I’m sorry that you will have to grow up in a world without all the incredible plants and animals that are going extinct everyday. We have made irreversible mistakes and decisions that affect you for the rest of your lives. We are only now realizing what we have done and yet so many people still refuse to do something about it. So please, inform yourself and realize that every decision you make will have an effect on everyone that comes after you.

More Messages to the Future

 

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.

 

to my dearest children,

Our future is being made now, and I promise to do everything in my power to make yours safe.
 

To earth & its inhabitants,

Its been heavy on my shoulders since I found out about the state of climate woes as a child.
 

To my daughter and son,

Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
 

Dear Kids,

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.
 

BATMAN SAYS, “LISTEN!”

How can I help you save the world and our country?
 

Dear Lalo,

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.
 

Querido amanhã,

Sempre é bom ajudar a natureza.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to recycle and compost.
 

Dear X—, Dear A—,

As with our struggles to eliminate police brutality, as with hate crimes, so it is with climate change – there are actually a lot of people out there who care.
 

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 grandkids,

I believe this fusion of ecology and economy backed by the digital technology is our great achievement.
