Dear Future Self,

It is 2020 Covid19 has impacted everyone and everything including the environment. There is more plastic going into landfills and my community needs to start a change. The small town of Warrenton is slow in catching up with current events and what is going on in the world. Most people here are very stuck in their ways but in order to save the environment and the world we live in people need to start making a change. As I grow to continue to grow into an adult with a life of my own I promise to integrate habits that will protect this world for future people like you and anyone important to you. I am currently trying to use less water and more reusable products instead of single-use. I’ve learned a lot about how people have changed the way the planet works I hope by 2050 that people will have found ways to save the planet and integrated it into our day to day life. I hope especially my home town learned to grow with the rest of the world. I think it is important that when areas advance in environmentally safe tech they bring along the smaller areas because small towns affect the environment as well.

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.

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

Young people are making a lot of noise and politicians are now listening.

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.
 

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?
 

Dear Maya, Emilio and Daniel,

We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.
 

dear tomorrow,

I hope that the state of the environment becomes a part of everyday discourse.
 

Dear James,

More importantly, what are we doing to better our planet and everyone who lives in it?
