Dear Grandchildren,
More Messages to the Future
For my most dear and only daughter,
And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through.
Dear Brothers & Sisters All Across Mother Earth,
I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.
To my daughter,
The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
Dear Kaydence,
I will keep trying Kaydence, I promise. And I hope we can look back together in 2050 and smile, knowing that our Earth is healthy once again.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.
Jeremy M,
My promise is to work to protest carbon emissions.
Dear Yasmine,
I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.
Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …
I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
Dear friends,
We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.
To My Future Child(ren),
The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?
I promise to plant trees and to turn off the lights.
Dear Tomorrow,
Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.
