I want you to know that I am going to do my best to do my part in lessening human impact on the climate. I don’t know much, but I’m taking a class on the science behind the way climate works and what is happening to it now. I want to help, I’m sorry for whatever has happened by the time you read this.
To the Future Generations,
I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to ditch all the natural gas and go all electric with my home!
Dear Children,
I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to switch from “light” to “deep” green.
To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,
Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII. I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
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 grandkids,
I believe this fusion of ecology and economy backed by the digital technology is our great achievement.
Isabelle minha querida neta!
Nossa vida só tem qualidade se tem natureza ao nosso redor.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will encourage everyone to adopt a plant-based diet. Good for our health, the animals and the planet.
To My Fellow Two-Spirits,
Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.
Dear Lillyana,
I will continue to work to make the Earth a cleaner and safer place for you to grow and explore.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will aim to lower my carbon footprint!
