First off, I just want apoligize for the severe damage my society has done to the environment. Although there are many of us who see the truth about the matter, there are too many who still chose to remain ignorant. Those of us who care deeply about the earth and its future are not going to give up. If we manage to mitigate some of the damage done, I hope you guys will step up to the plate and be ready when it’s your turn at bat.
For those who come after us,
This is for the countless children I already see suffering the impact of climate change around the world, and the generations to follow.
To Annika, Anders, Stella, Eva, and Mickey,
In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.
Dear future me,
I am 19 years old, and I am angry.
Dear Yasmine,
I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.
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 future generations,
My hope for you is that you can have equal experiences with nature that I was able to have with my dad.
To My Future Children,
Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.
Dear James,
More importantly, what are we doing to better our planet and everyone who lives in it?
Dear Tomorrow,
My climate promise: community awareness of the climate crisis.
Dear Donatella,
We ran through the woods laughing, crying, and living.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to eat less meat.
Dear World,
I vow that I will try to make a difference every day, so that you may enjoy the world as I have.
