Dear Future Generations,

Currently, there are disputes over what is climate change. And in reality, even I am confused, we are currently in a presidential election in which  Joe Biden and President Trump talk about their future actions with climate change. The world is changing and becoming worse and worse. And even though I am stressed about this, I still do not do anything to change it. And I believe I should. So I will start making changes in my everyday life in order to increase my ecological footprint. For example, I should start eating fewer animal products and drive less. I am doing this because I want to have a better future and not endanger future generations like my children. You all deserve to live happy, healthy and also contribute to our provider: Earth.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear tomorrow,

The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.

 

Dear Victoria, sugar pie honey bunch, chiquita loquita,

How can I look at your bright eyes and light dance and tell you we are facing a war?
 

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?
 

To my daughters,

In order for you two be happy and healthy, we all need to work hard to prevent climate change.
 

To my fellow adventurers,

Don’t stop looking for adventures.
 

Dear Future Self,

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
 

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 Tomorrow,

I promise to include the trees and animals in all my decisions.
 

To anyone who has heard my music,

I promise to care about the planet.
 

To my great-great grandchildren,

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.
 

Hey Kiddos!

My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.
 

To my future children,

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.
