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

Dear future me,

I am 19 years old, and I am angry.
 

Dear Matthew, Sam, and Sophie,

There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.
 

I pledge to use less plastic.
 

Dear Lincoln,

I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
 

To all the people here on earth,

Who knows what the future would look like? or what will happened in the future? No one knows right? That’s why it it’s scary because we don’t know what lies ahead. We couldn’t stop the future but we can always change it.
 

To my Children,

As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.
 

Dear Devon and Chloe

I hope that my work helping to make your schools more sustainable will be something you carry on as you grow older.
 

My grandchildren,

I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.
 

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 Indigenous Persons with Disabilities,

Dear Indigenous Persons with Disabilities,
 

Dear Jack,

Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I promise to reduce my waste production
