More Messages to the Future
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.
Dear Evie of 2050,
I can feel the change happening — many people are working to transform the world.
Dear old dude Mårten,
I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.
To my future children,
It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.
Dear Alex and Vivian,
This is my most important work.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to switch from “light” to “deep” green.
I promise to take shorter showers.
My dear granddaughter Christy,
My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.
Dear Lucy,
The clock ticks, time passes, and the earth and all of its inhabitants move closer to dangerous boundaries we can dimly discern but cannot see clearly.
Dear Lillyana,
I will continue to work to make the Earth a cleaner and safer place for you to grow and explore.
To anyone who has heard my music,
I promise to care about the planet.
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.
