Dear future me,

Dear myself, How are you? Do you have wet feet but miss the rain? Did you see some hurricanes? Do you miss your wintercoat? Did you make your trip to the NorthPole as planned when you were 20 years old? Maybe you’re already used to it …

If I want to read this message lying in my bed with my husband, close to each other because it’s cold and raining, I need to take action now. The message needs to be transmitted as well, which you did, I’m sure!  But now, I, and others, need to take action. My future husband is, I hope, doing the same. I hope he wants a green garden as well, rainy nights but dry feet.

Everything is a question mark…. we can’t predict everything but we can do everything to prevent the worst of happening.

Xxx,

Your 20 years old self,

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Students,

I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.
 

Dear Rosie,

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.
 

Dear future me,

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.
 

To all the children of the future and those who love them,

While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.
 

Dear Future Generations,

I promise to make as many changes to my life as possible to make yours as great as mine.
 

Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,

To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

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

Dear Evan,

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.”  Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
 

dear future people (:

I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.
 

Dear Amara and Uma,

Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.
 

To My Future Children,

I hope by 2050, our society has taken initiative to be producing energy solely through renewable sources.
