I hope that the Earth has made great strides to recovery. I hope you are voting for officials that take climate change seriously and that this issue is a priority to them. Keep fighting to change the direction of our dying Earth and try to save it so you can relay this message to your grandkids.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to recycle and compost.
Dearest Finlay,
I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.
Dear Nieces, Nephews, & Future Children…
If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to become more educated on the global issues that face populations I can’t see
Dear A and C,
You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.
Dear Maddie,
Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and your future.
Dear Ya’Ash,
There are many paths to Truth, but regardless of your faith or ideology, one truth is above all else: Life must continue.
Queridos nietas/nietos,
Creo que debo hacer más. Por ello, he decidido escribir esta breve carta para empezar un proceso en el que vaya escribiendo más cartas, conforme vaya teniendo más claridad de mis posibles contribuciones.
Dear Ari and Levi,
Luckily, we have figured out ways to build things without making the air dirty, and we are trying very hard to get more people to switch over to this new way as fast as we can.
Dear Kids,
My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.
To the Future Generations,
I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?
To earth & its inhabitants,
Its been heavy on my shoulders since I found out about the state of climate woes as a child.
