Today is 2021 and here is what I am hoping for the world in 2050.
Parking lots transformed to parks and food gardens for the locals. Greenery replacing the parking lots
Roads without personal cars.Cars replaced by bikes, buses and shared vehicles like Ubers.
High speed trains for most long distance travel instead of airplanes.
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?
Dear children,
Despite all the difficulties, we are from a family whose principles are honesty and love for others, and that’s what I want to share with you.
Dear Future Me,
I hope that when we look back on these years, you’ll see that humanity can be good. That we joined together and fixed it because of we don’t, who will?
Dear Tomorrow,
I feel optimistic for you, tomorrow. I can feel a shift happening already.
Filhota,
Espero de verdade saber contribuir para legá-la inteira para você, e que todos saibamos fazer isso em conjunto também.
My Dear Paloma,
I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.
To our sweet grandson Caleb,
We want a safe and beautiful world for you, little Caleb, and for your children and grandchildren. We promise to do our part.
Dear child,
The journey of humanity does not take us to Mars like the world now likes to believe. It takes us home to our true self where there is no separate self. Where we are all one. You know all this. Look after yourself my child, look after your brother, your friends, your children, all the animals and the whole planet. Love them like there is no tomorrow.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit, use metal straws, take quick showers.
Dear Amara and Uma,
Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use a water bottle.
To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,
Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII. I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
