Dear Future Self,

I have no clue what your life is going to be like. I don’t know what you’ll be doing, if you’ll have created a family of your own, or what type of world you are living in. Will you be writing music, working for an environmental organization, be a therapist? I hope that you have found something that you are passionate about; that thing that keeps you energized even after long days of work, that sense of purpose.

I hope if you want to, you can bring children safely into this world and not have to worry about bringing them up in a safe planet. I hope you see the best in people and have overcome some of your negative thinking. I hope you surround yourself by loving, kind, and caring people. I hope you can still speak spanish. I hope you don’t have to deal with anymore pandemics.

Best,
RD

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow and Dearest Lex, 

I do believe that the collective power of everyone’s best efforts can curb the worst effects of climate change, and provide you with a more stable and secure future.
 

To My Children and My Future Grandchildren,

People are an amazing race and, if we have the will, I believe we have the ingenuity and resources to fix the harm we’ve done.
 

I will recycle stuff I found.
 

To My Daughter and Future Grandchildren,

There are so many more things that we can do together to help our Earth from the damage that has been done, and I am so excited to teach you.
 

I pledge to use less plastic!
 

To my daughter and her children,

As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.
 

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 Finley,

I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
 

Isabelle minha querida neta!

Nossa vida só tem qualidade se tem natureza ao nosso redor.
 

Dear Annie and Eric,

I hope that this life of good things is not just yours to enjoy, but that you also have decided to fight for others to have this life, too.
 

Dear Future

My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.
