Dear future people,

I’m sorry of all the damage we’ve caused. I’m sorry that you have to deal with all our problems. I’m sorry that you might never get to see a polar bear as they are extinct. I’m sorry that you may never have a nice holiday at a beach, because we’ve destroyed it. I’m sorry that you might never see wild animals in their home as we cut down the trees

But as some destroyed, others can fix it. From now, I will plant more trees to replace the burned ones. I will recycle and reuse all the plastic that I use. I will also use electric cars when I’m older, and I will encourage others to do the same. I will always think of the planet.

More Messages to the Future

 

To anyone who has heard my music,

I promise to care about the planet.
 

To my precious children,

As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.
 

Dear tomorrow,

Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences.
 

To My Children,

Is the world really polluted?
 

Queridas crianças do mundo inteiro,

Pedimos que vocês procurem fazer como nós e continuem essa luta de colaborar com nosso planeta: evitando o consumo exagerado, usando a tecnologia para o bem, plantando árvores, economizando água e poluindo menos.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to stop using a plastic straw.
 

Dear AC,

I think a lot about where the right place to live is.
 

Dear Evan,

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.”  Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
 

To the wonderful children of our family – Elayna, Julianna, and James –

There is no issue more important to your future and your friends’ future than stemming climate change.
 

Querida Futuro Yo,

Quiero que puedas decirme que lo hemos logrado, y que el mundo hoy es un poquito mejor porque nosotras pusimos de nuestra parte.
 

To my daughter,

The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
 

Dear Future Self,

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
