Dear Future Me,

Today is November 15th, 2018. The air quality is so bad this week that several schools are closed. I hope this is not a problem for you anymore.

Traffic has been bad these days because we have so many cars! I’m worried that car emissions are polluting our environment. I guess in the future we will have all auto-driving electric cars that emit zero carbon emissions. That would be great!

They have been saying that global warming is happening and that we will experience extreme weathers in the future. I hope that is not the case for you. I’ll try my best so that you will not be negatively affected by my actions. I don’t want you to blame me. I will try my best to protect our environment.

Dear Malasher and Alex,

We will look back on our time here and ask, “What did I do?”

Dear Daughter,

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.

 

To my precious children,

As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.
