As I’m writing this I am halfway through the 1st semester of my 2nd year of grad school. I hope that when you’re reading this, I have had a fulfilling career helping people or the environment, at least indirectly, and have made a lasting impact on the world. I hope that governments have found ways to reduce CO2 emissions, and that even citizens in wealthy and privileged countries understand how to reduce their carbon footprints.
My darlings, Juno & Vaeda,
You ask insightful questions, and together we learn about the mysterious world we inhabit.
To My Grandchildren,
It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures. These are the confessions of a climate activist:
Dear my future child,
I promise you, I am going to do everything I can to save this planet for you. I won’t let you down, I swear.
Dear Future Grandchildren,
I hope I can look you in the eye and tell you I honestly did everything I could to protect our planet.
Dear grand nieces and nephews,
I wish you this security knowing we changed because we love you.
Dear Madeleine,
First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will do everything I can to help fight against climate change.
To my future self,
It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
Querido amanhã,
Sempre é bom ajudar a natureza.
Dear fantastic,
We as the human race are smarter than this struggle at hand and need to rise above large corporate interests and confusion on this topic.
Dear Child,
Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.
Dear Future Sami Lee,
Everyone currently in life laughs and yells save the bees. We were a bee this year for Halloween and Lucy even came up with a great slogan “get with it honey”.
