Dear future self and family,

It is currently 2021, and we are in the midst of a global pandemic along with climate change. Over this past year in school, I have learned a lot about my impact on the environment, and how the world is responding to unprecedented changes. I hope the issues of our current world have not led you to failure. At this moment in time, climate change keeps getting worse and worse. Both people and animals are dying due to the injustices associated with the environment. As a result, it is impossible to know what tomorrow may bring. Although change seems to be noticeably small, it is accumulating faster than we can physically handle. You deserve to live in an environment that has clean air, a thriving food supply, and a life full of Earth’s natural beauty. With that being said, I promise to replenish more resources than what I take from the environment. I promise to be more sustainable by means of not using plastic, by walking instead of driving to reduce emissions, and by saving water. I also promise to let my voice be heard so that your health and wellness can be prioritized. I hope that all the compromises we are making now allows you to live a life without worry, and that the world is what it is meant to be—peaceful and loving.

More Messages to the Future

 

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.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to ditch all the natural gas and go all electric with my home!

 

Dear Generations to Be,

If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love.

 

Vitória,

Antes de realizar qualquer ação pense no meio ambiente para que suas atitudes sejam pautadas na sustentabilidade. Assim o seu pensar e agir localmente poderão resvalar na escala global.

 

Dear friend,

I will fight for this cause and I will never ever give up because we, the youngsters, are the hope.

 

Dear Ezmae,

As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.

 

The gift for next generation,

To save the big world, perhaps, we should change the mind from myself to my small family to my community.

 

Dear Malasher and Alex,

My goal was to help you grow into better citizens of our planet; to help you care about our natural world and to make everyday choices that reflect concern for our beautiful earth and our own health as well as encourage you to work together to make changes in our community.

 

Dear Grandchildren,

So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.

 

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.

 

Dear Emile and Eloise,

The beauty and majesty of the world of your childhood is as remarkable as the beauty and majesty of mine, but the fragility of your childhood world is so much greater.

 

To my darling ones,

And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age
