Dear Future Tate Cook,

We need air, we need food, and we need life. We deserve every one of those, and we take it away from ourselves. Covid-19 is a message, or an effort, keeping us indoors so we don’t go out and destroy the earth. To this day I am 12, almost 13, it’s March 8, the week our school got shut down for this virus. Life isn’t the same, and it never will be. What my age is when I receive this I don’t know, but I do know that things will be different. If I do receive this and my dumb self didn’t do anything to get me killed, then I have one question, how was my life in your eyes? Was it a smooth path? Was it hard? And most of all, what is the status of the ones I love.?

I promise to include the trees and animals in all my decisions.
 

Dear Oliver,

Dear Future Self,

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
 

Dear Children and Grandchildren,

I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.

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.
 

Dear Ellie,

My heart is an ocean of love for all the children facing a life of climate catastrophe.

 

To my Beloved Future Children,

Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.
 

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.
