Dear Future,
I’m currently 19 years old and the world has never been in this amount of danger. Currently, climate change is one of the worlds most leading environmental issues. I’m making a promise to my future self, family and world to recycle more often and limit the amount of plastic I use in my everyday. The small details in life matter.
-Gina Goldstone
To my daughter and son,
Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
Dear Gabriel,
When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will eat vegan, organic, locally grown, and seasonal.
Dear Isaiah,
I am grateful for your soul, for your creativity, for your empathy. All these are precious treasures that you have to offer the world. They will help. I thank you for being in this world right now, so that you can offer these gifts at a time of transition.
Dear Chay and Kate,
Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.
Dear Corey,
I promise to do all within my power to create a world that’s safe for you and your generation.
Dear Future Self,
It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
Hello spawn,
I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you.
Dear Jeremy,
We had a lot in common obviously, and our concern for the planet we live on was one of the many things we bonded over.
Dear Annie and Eric,
I hope that this life of good things is not just yours to enjoy, but that you also have decided to fight for others to have this life, too.
To my dear son Zac,
I promise to raise you as a loving-nature human.
Dear Grandchild,
I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.
