As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.

Dear future Michelle,

You and I both know that our planet has been suffering for a very long time now, and while we are just one of many, every little contribution can help improve the environment.

While we can agree that we do the least amount of effort to avoid damaging the environment, let’s be fair: we can do better.

Let’s avoid buying so much fast food and start cooking more organic food at home. Let’s start separating our wastes so that they can be properly recycled, and let’s avoid buying any more than we can consume. I know it’s not an easy task and that it will take much effort from us, but let’s do our best.

 But changing our eating habits is just one way to help the environment. There are many other causes in which we can act. We should avoid leaving lamps turned on around the house and only plug devices to an outlet when we’re about to use them. We should also avoid leaving our taps open for longer than it’s needed. These habits will not only help the planet, even if slightly but also help reduce our expenses.

As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.

And don’t forget your role as a pedagogue, which is also to motivate and teach future generations to be more aware of environmental well-being.

 

Best regards,

Present Michelle, past Michelle when this letter reaches you.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Evan,

We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will encourage composting at work.

 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

 

To my children,

If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.

 

Dear… Parents,

Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.

 

Dear Alba:

There is still a lot of beauty and I will do what I can to keep it from slipping away.

 

Hallo Clara,

Was wohl der Klimawandel im Jahr 2050 macht? und wer gerade in der Politik ist? Bei uns macht der Klimawandel gerade Vollgas und an der Macht ist Angela Merkel, seit 16 Jahren
What will climate change do in 2050? and who is in politics right now? Climate change is at full throttle here and Angela Merkel has been in power for 16 years.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to recycle and compost.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Dear Future Me: Only open after March 4th, 2050

I don’t regret my past ventures, nor do I believe I will regret my future ventures, but I’ve learned that I’ve needed to manifest these experiences into actions of sustainable development and conservation and protection of our environment.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.
