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.

Hi buddy,

I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.
 

To the wonderful children of our family – Elayna, Julianna, and James –

There is no issue more important to your future and your friends’ future than stemming climate change.
 

Dear future generations,

It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I’ll replace our lights with LED lights.
 

To the wonder,

Dear tomorrow, thank you for letting me ride the wave of wonder that reaches toward you for all generations of all species to come.
 

Dear Madeline, Ava, and Harper,

What I wish most for you girls is that the care you have shown each other would extend to the big wide world around you.
 

To my precious children,

As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.
 

Dear Daughter,

Tonight at bedtime, you asked, seemingly out of nowhere, “why are the glaciers disappearing?”

 

Dear friends,

Rather than exploit it, destroy it, poison it, why don’t we just enhance the beauty of it, guard it, and love it?
 

To older Rochelle,

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
 

Dear future generations,

I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.

 

Dear Erica and Matthew,

I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.
