With any luck, the world you’re living is not the post-apocalyptic howling wilderness I’ve imagined it to be. If that’s the case, then I congratulate you. If it is in fact that bad, then I want you to remember that you did what you could to help dampen the impact of the inevitable. And that is worth taking a small bit of comfort in.
Dear Tomorrow
I will teach my children about a greener earth.
To my future children,
I am doing everything I can because I want the footprint that I leave behind to be my feet in the sand on a beach and not a carbon one.
Dear Tomorrow,
My climate promise is to reduce electricity at home. I will turn off the TV and lights when I’m not in the room.
I pledge to stop using plastic bags.
Dear Ellie,
My heart is an ocean of love for all the children facing a life of climate catastrophe.
Dear Tomorrow,
The transformation of human consciousness
Dear fantastic,
We as the human race are smarter than this struggle at hand and need to rise above large corporate interests and confusion on this topic.
My dear granddaughter Christy,
My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.
Dear Tomorrow,
We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.
Dear You Tomorrow,
What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.
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.
Dear Oliver,
I am getting your father on board too so that we can double charge this together.
