dear future me,

I hope you are able to experience the world as I have been able to. I hope you are able to breathe a breath of fresh air when you step outside. I hope you are able to look up into the sky and see the billions of stars. I hope you still know the smell after it rains and the way it feels to lie in a grassy field. I hope Australia’s beautiful beaches are still beautiful and you can still swim for hours without getting too sunburnt by the harshening sun. I promise to play my part now so that you may enjoy the future like you’re enjoying right now. I hope that the people in power were able to start doing what they’re promising right now, but most importantly, I hope you’re alright. love from, your 2020 self.

Queridos nietas/nietos,

Creo que debo hacer más. Por ello, he decidido escribir esta breve carta para empezar un proceso en el que vaya escribiendo más cartas, conforme vaya teniendo más claridad de mis posibles contribuciones.
 

Olá minhas Florzinhas!!!

Minhas florzinhas é isso…. vamos a batalha , procurar se informar sobre empresas que são amigas do meio ambiente, tentar banir as empresas que poluem nosso ar, nossos rios.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I will become the change I wish to see in the world.
 

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will take short showers, eat less meat, and buy local more often.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to buy organic food and run more and bike more! (I could use the exercise.)
 

To my wide-eyed warrioresses,

Since my two daughters emerged into this world, all of my tomorrows have become more dear.

Dear Lucie,

Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.
 

To the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
