Dear Future Self,

I never learned about climate change in detail ever before this year. Both in terms of theoretical and actually seeing what’s happening around us. Human beings are destroying this beautiful natural environment just for their own short term benefit. We know that we are doing bad to this environment and we also have some resources to stop this harm. However, we are not developing enough technology or taking the initiative to stop harming our environment.

After learning how much negative impact that we are having on this planet, and seeing all that happening around me (wildfires in California and Australia, hurricanes in southern states of America, etc), I promise to myself that I will do whatever is in my power to contribute for reducing this impact. I can change my lifestyle for using more eco-friendly products, saving energy, eating food that has lower carbon footprint, etc. I believe that if everyone in this world start taking initiative at individual level, we are not far away from a day when we can actually control this climate change on global level.

For my own future as well for the future generations, I will try as best as I can to mitigate the damage that we are doing to the land that belong to someone else (future generations).

More Messages to the Future

 

To My Dear Grandchildren,

Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.

 

Dear Corey,

I promise to do all within my power to create a world that’s safe for you and your generation.

 

My dear daughters,

I will use my voice to help bring awareness about climate change.

 

Oi Luc,

Dear tomorrow,

The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.

 

To my dearest Gabriel,

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.

 

Dear June and Colin,

I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.

 

Dear Rosie,

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.

 

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.

 

Hey Kiddos!

My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.

 

To the future,

Today, I will hope and envision the future I wish to achieve. Then tomorrow, I will have tough conversations, I will call my local representatives, I will continue to fight for this world.

 

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.
