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.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will do whatever I can to protect and preserve mother Earth for future generations.
Our Shared Promise
I will act today so you may have a healthy earth to live on.
Cari nipoti,
Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.
To my future children,
It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.
Dear Rowan and Anaka,
If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?
Dear Malasher and Alex,
My goal was to help you grow into better citizens of our planet; to help you care about our natural world and to make everyday choices that reflect concern for our beautiful earth and our own health as well as encourage you to work together to make changes in our community.
Dear Potential Future Kiddo,
To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating. Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
Dear Finley,
I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
Dear Tomorrow
I will teach my children about a greener earth.
Dear future generations,
I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to never use a plastic straw.
To My Future Self,
This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.
