As of 2020, we are dealing with a major pandemic of the deadly coronavirus. Because of this, it has taken a major effect on climate change and we fear what will happen for the future. However, I have hope that this will all be over and change if WE change. I hope to improve climate change by decreasing my energy usage, consuming less greenhouse gases, and be more cautious about what goes on in the environment in order to make it a better place for you all in the future.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will opt up to deep green
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 Luna,
I will never give up on you, on humanity, on the future.
To my child,
For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
To the People in my Future Life,
Anytime I’m at the crossroads of life, I pray that I, or anyone else in the same position, will keep you in mind, and try to shape a world that’s the best possible for you.
Dear Future Afnan,
You should make a time machine and come back to past and solve all the problems.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will aim to lower my carbon footprint!
Dear Grandchild,
I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will do everything I can to help fight against climate change.
Dear my future child,
I promise you, I am going to do everything I can to save this planet for you. I won’t let you down, I swear.
Dear Tomorrow,
And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.
Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,
To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.
