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 Gabriel,
A message from co-founder Jill Kubit:
Writing letters to our kids about climate change is hard. It should be.
Annalu minha filha amada,
Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.
Dear Peyton and Lucas,
I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!
Querida Emanoely,
Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.
Dear tomorrow,
If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.
To My Children,
Is the world really polluted?
Dear Future Earth,
I promise to promote the growth of clean energy, like solar… For the sake of my grandchildren.
Dear Daughter,
I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.
Dear Eleanor,
It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
Caro Giovanni,
Dobbiamo aiutare nel conservare il bello che c’è nel nostro pianeta.
Dear Evan,
We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.
