Dear future self,

2018 is a time to be alive. Technology and the world around you is so much more advanced than when you were a child. With all the technology around you, you are able to have the reports related to climate change at the tip of your fingers. Climate change is no joke and I hope you have continued to live your life in respect to the climate. You have made the decision to go vegetarian in 2018 and I hope you have kept that lifestyle as long as you could especially while reading this letter. I hope you recycle and reuse as much as possible. Everything you’ve done today can help for a better tomorrow. Please make sure your kids and family are fully aware of climate change and how dangerous it will be if humans continue to pollute our earth drastically. I expect the world and its skies to be much prettier now. I expect more eco-friendly products and fuel options to be readily available at affordable prices. I also expect much more people to change their diets in respect to climate change.

Dear Sadie,

You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me.

Dear Generations to Be,

If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love.

 

To my children,

I hope that the fervor that is building continues to build and spread and that the world has made progress to minimize the effects of our past actions.

 

Dearest Finlay,

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.

 

Dear Emile and Eloise,

The beauty and majesty of the world of your childhood is as remarkable as the beauty and majesty of mine, but the fragility of your childhood world is so much greater.

 

I promise to plant trees and to turn off the lights.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I’ll buy only food that I plan to eat before it spoils.
