Remember the days of the coronavirus pandemic, which held people in their homes for at the least three weeks, and the skies cleared, emission levels lowered, car accidents plummeted, and families walked their dogs outside with their children. The days were simple, like the Earth had once known. It healed because we let it. It can heal again, if we let it.
Querida Tainah,
Quero que você beba água pura, coma alimentos sem agrotóxicos e que sua casinha branca com varanda, seja voltada para o leste, onde o sol vai nascer.
To My Dear Children, Jackson Carlo and Stella Jane,
I am a better person because of you, and I want the world to be a better place for you.
Dear Lila
So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.
Future Message to Earth,
Hope there will be no more droughts,
And no more pollution with which we fought,
Regarding every human should be taught,
Ensuring that we uniformly follow these thoughts.
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 Tomorrow,
I promise to clean the earth.
Dear tomorrow,
The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.
To my future Niece,
While I will work my hardest to create any positive change I can, you must continue this quest. You cannot give up hope, and you must always remember that the beauty on this Earth is worth saving.
A love letter to my son
I hope this year is a real turning point and by the time you’re a teenager, your life is powered almost entirely by clean energy like solar and wind.
Chers Enfants,
Chers Enfants,
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
To my fellow adventurers,
Don’t stop looking for adventures.
