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 X—, Dear A—,
As with our struggles to eliminate police brutality, as with hate crimes, so it is with climate change – there are actually a lot of people out there who care.
Dear Tomorrow
I will teach my children about a greener earth.
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 Future Generations,
I promise to make as many changes to my life as possible to make yours as great as mine.
Dear Evie of 2050,
I can feel the change happening — many people are working to transform the world.
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.
To my precious grandchildren, Emma, Maya, Maddie and Will,
With love and a great hope for the future, a future that will be healthy and sustainable for you, my precious grandchildren.
To my daughter and son,
Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
To my child,
For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
To My Friends, Family and Future Grandchildren,
I realize my reflection of the past, current and future state of the environment paints a grim and pessimistic picture, but I feel optimistic in our ability to turn planet Earth’s fate around if we all work together and commit to making a change.
People of tomorrow,
Your path will only be as clear tomorrow as we have made it for you today.
Dear Gabriel,
A message from co-founder Jill Kubit:
Writing letters to our kids about climate change is hard. It should be.
