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.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise my next vehicle will be an EV.
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.
dear earth,
I promise those who walked the Earth before me and those who will walk the Earth after me that I will not stand by and let nature slip through my fingers.
Dear Tomorrow,
I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.
Dear Annalyse and Greyson,
See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
Dear Chay and Kate,
Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.
Dear Child,
Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.
Dear Amara and Uma,
Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.
To my dearest Gabriel,
What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.
Dear Tomorrow,
This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.
Dear Me,
Today, I promise to keep my spaces clean and my environment cleaner.
For a child I am yet to know,
We are fighting for a shared cause, inspired by our strong and unwavering dedication to preserve the beauty and wonder of our natural world for our children, our grandchildren and their children, and for countless generations to come.
