This year we created more homemade gifts and try to encourage your creativity and resourcefulness. That is a quality that all of us need to encourage and practice because with so many of us on this planet, we know that we cannot sustain our present level of fossil fuel use.
We can learn new ways; let’s practice together!
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
To my Beloved Future Children,
Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.
Dear Tomorrow,
And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.
For a child I am yet to know,
We are fighting for a shared cause, inspired by our strong and unwavering dedication to preserve the beauty and wonder of our natural world for our children, our grandchildren and their children, and for countless generations to come.
Dear me,
Remember how passionate you felt at 20, I hope you keep that passion in you and are still working on climate 30 years from now.
Dear Future Today,
Here in California we’re starting to recognize our climate changing the natural world around us.
We will look back on our time here and ask, “What did I do?”
If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.
Dear Tomorrow,
My climate promise is to use a refillable bottle, bring my own resusable spoon/form wherever I go, use clean personal care products (without chemicals).
Dear sons,
I’ve been so busy since 2012 working towards getting a price on carbon.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to take my bike everywhere. Taking Golden Gate Transit to SF tonight.
Pick up your trash wherever you go!
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to never use a plastic straw.
