I am scared for our future. Our world is changing, but we humans are afraid of change. I hope that the energy that we get in future will all come from renewable sources instead of the oil that we use today. Advancements in technology like what Elon Musk is doing with Tesla fills me with excitement, but many people discourage my feelings of eagerness when they say that they run off dirty energy anyways. Forgive us for not acting sooner.
Hey kiddo,
I’ll be here to tell you all the ways I have fought for the health of our home, and fought to protect all of the wide, open spaces for you to run in. When you’re old enough, we can fight together.
Dear Kai and Leah,
I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.
Dear Erica and Matthew,
I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.
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.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
Dear Future Generations,
Dear Future Generations,
To my dear children in the year 2050,
I don’t wish to go backwards, but I do wish we would slow down and design our brave new world with more care.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to stop using a plastic straw.
Dear Future,
I will use less plastic.
To my daughter and her children,
As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.
Dear Madeline, Ava, and Harper,
What I wish most for you girls is that the care you have shown each other would extend to the big wide world around you.
Dear son,
Everyone should be grow at least 100 trees in his lifetime.
