Dear Future Self,
I hope you’re still conscious of our changing climate and do what you can to help.
More Messages to the Future
My Mini & Lou,
Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
Dear Students,
My act of love will be to use all the power I have, during the rest of my life, to stop climate change.
Querido amanhã,
Sempre é bom ajudar a natureza.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
Dear Victoria, sugar pie honey bunch, chiquita loquita,
How can I look at your bright eyes and light dance and tell you we are facing a war?
Dear Ezmae,
As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.
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 tomorrow,
If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.
Dear future Michelle,
As consumers, it is our duty to protest and force companies to be greener and avoid environmental damage, whether they are from the food industry or from any other production industry. It’s about time we start thinking greener.
Dear Evie of 2050,
I can feel the change happening — many people are working to transform the world.
I pledge to take the bus.
Dear Madeleine,
First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
