Max, there is so much I feel like you will never get to experience and I am writing this letter in hope that when you read it you are able to laugh at it because you have in fact done all the things I want to do (me now). There are so many things that I don’t know I will be able to do like visit where dad grew up in Africa because the water is too poor quality to drink, but my hope is that “us”, the people, we can fix these problems. Good luck homie <3
Hey kiddo,
I’ll be here to tell you all the ways I have fought for the health of our home, and fought to protect all of the wide, open spaces for you to run in. When you’re old enough, we can fight together.
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.
Minha pequena Nicole ainda não nos conhecemos, mas já te amo
Deixo para você o meu quintal onde o ar é perfumado pelas flores e árvores, a terra dá frutos e flores além de abrigar muitos bichinhos, a água é utilizada com consciência e o ser humano é respeitado e tratado como alguém que depende da natureza para VIVER.
Dear Ezmae,
As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.
To our sweet grandson Caleb,
We want a safe and beautiful world for you, little Caleb, and for your children and grandchildren. We promise to do our part.
dear future people (:
I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to include the trees and animals in all my decisions.
Dear Annalyse and Greyson,
See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
dear me in 2030,
I am smelling burning plastic!
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to stop eating beef.
My dearest children Ameilia and Alivia,
I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.
To my future Niece,
While I will work my hardest to create any positive change I can, you must continue this quest. You cannot give up hope, and you must always remember that the beauty on this Earth is worth saving.
