Dear future me,

I hope that people are more aware of global climate change at the moment. Although, the fact that it took 31 years to recognize it is horrific for me as it may be too late at this point. I hope at this point, we moved passed fossil fuels and are beginning to use renewable energy more. I also hope that there is better transportation for our people so that way they won’t feel the need to commute with the cars individually.

From the time I’m writing this, the world has made efforts in bringing down our GHGs but it is minimal in my opinion; but it is better than doing nothing at all. I hope you are doing something to sustain global climate change. I’ve learned to use energy-saving appliances and hope you will continue to do the same.

If you see protesters in the streets blocking the road, please tell them there are better ways to get the word out. Just blocking the cars from passing by will make them burn their fossil fuel still. Don’t be afraid to speak up.

Sincerely,

2019 you

Dear future child,

We’re presenting at conferences, writing articles, and organizing events with the goal of mobilizing our profession to act on climate, and to help them understand that it will deeply impact our mission to preserve history for future generations.

 

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 Family,

As I’m sitting here trying to think of the best words to say to you all, I am thinking of one major thing: that I can only hope that you all get to experience the incredible beauty created by our planet.

 

To My Children and My Future Grandchildren,

People are an amazing race and, if we have the will, I believe we have the ingenuity and resources to fix the harm we’ve done.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to be creative – make art!

 

To my grandchildren’s children,

I became an activist to be part of a force to save the natural world and go 100% clean energy.

 

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 future niece or nephew,

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.

 

Meus filhos,

Devemos conservar nosso planeta. Mas, para se fazer isso, temos que fazer isso juntos. Todos os seres humanos devem estar voltados para cuidar bem do lar em que vivemos e do presente que Deus nos deu para viver: a Terra.

 

To the future generations,

I hope that you all can enjoy the Smokey Mountains in your lifetime too and that they look how they did back in 2017 when I saw them.

 

Dear Peyton and Lucas,

I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!

 

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.
