Dear future generations,

I hope you get to see the oceans and all of creatures that call them home. I hope you get to feel the rough bark of a tree while climbing on a sunny day. I hope you get to smell fresh rain during the summer, while you run outside to play in the puddles. I hope you get to hear the chirping of baby birds, when their mom comes home to feed them. I hope you get to taste the cold prick of a snowflake on your tongue while making snowmen. I hope you get to smell flowers in your backyard, not a museum. And most of all I hope that we can work together to make all of this available to you for a long, long time.

More Messages to the Future

 

Happy 34th birthday my son.

To laugh at our efforts as they were on such a small scale, too small some would say to make a difference, and then smile when we think about the number families just like ours that did the same thing.

 

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 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 June and Colin,

I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.

 

Dear Children,

I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.

 

Dear Future Self,

I hope you got your dream job of using your business degree to reduce co2 emissions and promote sustainable energy.

 

Caro Giovanni,

Dobbiamo aiutare nel conservare il bello che c’è nel nostro pianeta.

 

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.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to become more educated on the global issues that face populations I can’t see

 

Dear humankind of today and tomorrow,

I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.

 

Dear Chay and Kate,

Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to buy organic food and run more and bike more! (I could use the exercise.)
