As I write this, in April 2020, the world is currently battling a pandemic that has killed over 74,000 people. There is increased concern that climate change may cause the permafrost to melt, releasing deadly microbes. If current trends continue, by 2030, CO2 concentrations may be up to 431-433 ppm. What actions have we taken to reduce the use of fossil fuels and get global warming under control?
Queridas filhas Ana Luísa e Ana Carla,
Que vocês possam contar para seus filhos e netos que minha geração tomou consciência de sua responsabilidade e assumiu sua condição de natureza e a ela se reintegrou, com inteligência, interação respeitosa e solidariedade.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to put in a rain catcher tank.
My darling Cassidy,
I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.
Paz e bem
Vivamos a vida com intensidade, Não nos importando a localidade.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will do whatever I can to protect and preserve mother Earth for future generations.
Dear future 82-year old me,
29 years later, I wish I still can ride bike and go some lovely places in nature. Sky is blue and air is fresh, I will be shining under the sun.
Dear Alyssa,
I pray that more and more fathers will realize that to love their children well, they have to love and respect the ecological systems around them too.
Dear Kiya,
Fighting for a system that rewards care for people and planet over profit.
Dear Children and Grandchildren,
I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.
Dear Kids,
I know it’s long past time to wake up. You deserve a future in which drought, famine, and war are not all your children ever know; the choices my generation makes now will determine your future.
Dear Finn and Cy,
I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.
Caro me stesso,
Non so dove e con chi sarò nel 2050, spero che sia un anno migliore di quello appena passato .
