Dear Isaac,

I am hoping that you are living in a happier and healthier time and place than we are now.  The world has probably had some major changes since you were 10. People are smart and creative, and hopefully, by working together as just people of the beautiful earth, solutions have been found to curb expected calamities brought on by climate change.
 
You probably remember how crazy I was about  “going solar”, driving my EV, and picking up every bit of plastic in our path.  Alone it couldn’t change the world very much, but combined with others I am hoping it counted. I always feel we can do better, (you know like  “practice longer”)  so today I am promising to take 2 more actions which hopefully,  by modeling and combined with the actions of others, will help preserve this wonderful earth for you and your children ( I hope at least one has your beautiful smile.)
 
July 25, 2020:
* I  promise to eat a minimum of three meals a week with no meat in an effort to switch to a more plant-based diet.

*I promise to make my climate action voice heard louder and to help my friends to do the same by advocating physically and verbally for necessary bold legislation on the state and federal levels.

 

Love you always,
Jima

Dear Future Self,

It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
