Hello 42 year old me. I would like to inform you that the climate change issue has worsened, as you already know. Animals are dying, oceans are rising and forest fires are occurring everywhere. I will try my very best to ensure your safety in this changing world.
Regards, 12 year old me
Dear Oliver,
I am getting your father on board too so that we can double charge this together.
Dear Jack,
Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.
dear future children,
As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.
Dear Son,
I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.
Dear future generations,
It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.
Dear Rosie,
But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.
For those who come after us,
This is for the countless children I already see suffering the impact of climate change around the world, and the generations to follow.
Son,
Make the most of every day because remember yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.
I promise to take shorter showers.
Dear Corey,
I promise to do all within my power to create a world that’s safe for you and your generation.
Dear me,
Remember how passionate you felt at 20, I hope you keep that passion in you and are still working on climate 30 years from now.
To My Future Self,
This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.
