I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.

Dear humankind of today and tomorrow,

We are in the beginning of March 2017.

We talk more and more about climate change and its impact on our lives today, but especially tomorrow, for our future generations and the future of our beautiful planet.

There are people who believe in it and people who don’t, besides the facts and the scars that our behaviour already left and is still leaving on the face of our Mother Earth.

I do not have a children of my own, and more and more, I say to myself, I am glad I do not have them, because I do not want them to live in this world, especially in a world I cannot tell where it is going with all that is going on right now.

I cannot bear the thought of not being able to protect my children from all the harm and the duality of this world, so I prefer not to have them here and now.

But, that doesn’t mean that I do not believe in humanity, in the collective consciousness, in the goodness of the humankind, in our capacity to save this world, or what is left of it.

It is our responsibility to preserve this planet for as long as we can.

We are sometimes lost, like I am at this moment, I do not know where to start with and to which cause to turn to. There are so many that need our help, so I start by signing petitions that LDC foundation suggests and by writing this letter, by praying for the right cause to present to me where I could and would take concrete action.

Living in Belgium for almost 13 years now, coming from Macedonia, which is my country of origin, I do recycle (we still do not do this in Macedonia, hmmm, here is a thought, maybe I can start from there, raising the consciousness there, so that they can start recycling, too), but feel that this is not enough anymore, that I need to do more than juste recycle my trash on a daily basis.

Coming back to my previous thought that now cought my full attention, raising awareness in my country of origin Macedonia, to start recycling, I wonder where can I start from and with, what do I need to do, I do not live there anymore, I need guidance on this from someone who already did it, maybe I could write an article or something, and start from there….

I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too, and one by one, we can and will save at least one big part, if not all of our beautiful home planet, for you, our future generations, and for your future generations, and their future generations…

I am looking forward to seeing what will this unfold for all of us in the years 2030-2050.

With all my love and care,

Lepa

More Messages to the Future

 

To My Future Self,

This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.

 

Dear Beloved Children,

As time progresses, there is hope that value will be placed on all living organisms, including humans, plants, and animals. Life will move at a slower pace, and being on your own time and moving at your individual pace will be the typical way of life. I consider this way of life good living, and I hope that future generations will live on this earth as it was once intended to live in peace and harmony.

 

Dear Lila

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

 

Dear Birds,

will continue championing land preservation and the restoration of woodland, prairie and wetland habitats. I will not stop advocating for “bird friendly” legislation to make cities safer for your passage.

 

AMORI MIEI EMMA DOMINGA E MAMMA AURELIE

Mamma e Papà cercano insieme sempre di darti il meglio però anche tu dovrai fare la tua parte nel mondo.

 

Dear Ezmae,

As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.

 

Queridos amigos sobrevivientes.

Quiero pensar que ustedes serán la diferencia, que tomaran más actos sobre el asunto y no dejaran que nada los detenga.

 

Querido amanhã,

Eu quero esse mundo melhor para você, onde o povo tem voz, seja lá quem você seja, eu vou fazer se tudo para proporcionar um mundo melhor para você.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

The only way to survive it, even if you don’t feel like you’re winning, is to keep your hands on the rope.

 

To the future,

Today, I will hope and envision the future I wish to achieve. Then tomorrow, I will have tough conversations, I will call my local representatives, I will continue to fight for this world.

 

To my precious children

I want clean air, clean energy and muddy feet for you. I want this for all children.

 

Dear old dude Mårten,

I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.
