Dear future human,

I am sorry that we have handed the world over to you in the state that it is in. It’s not my generation’s fault, we have been trying to reverse the changes. I sit here from the perspective of a young person losing hope. In my 19 years of life I have watched racism, systematic oppression, greed, and a disregard for the earth’s living things and the way it has affected our society. I want to hope that you are living in a better society, but I honestly don’t know. I do know that my individual actions are working to create a better future for everyone. Despite feeling powerless I know that one person can make a difference.

Dear Eleanor,

You are so small. So innocent. So beautiful. For you and for everyone else, I will try harder.
 

Hi buddy,

I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.
 

Annalu minha filha amada,

Dear future me,

My hopes have always been to live in a brighter and better generation, where women are respected around the world, human rights are respected and last but not least where animals and mother nature is cared for by us individuals.
 

Dear Kids,

I know it’s long past time to wake up. You deserve a future in which drought, famine, and war are not all your children ever know; the choices my generation makes now will determine your future.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.
 

Dear Me of Tomorrow,

I plan to plant more things this spring, as we do every year in our garden.
 

Dear Future Me,

I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.
 

To Annika, Anders, Stella, Eva, and Mickey,

In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will do whatever I can to protect and preserve mother Earth for future generations.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will opt up to deep green
 

To my Children,

As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.
