Dear Josh,

When you read this I hope you have lived up to your goals in life and are happily married with children hopefully. Remember how big of a deal climate change was? Do you remember learning about fall semester sophomore year in your Global Environment class? You appreciate Earth as much as Mrs. Dahl did, you have always found happiness in the natural environment. I hope that people started realizing by this point how important saving our climate is so unbelievably crucial to the survival of the human race. I can only imagine what the world has turned out now, 30 years later. When you read this Josh I hope you have done this one thing, help make our planet a cleaner and safer place so that your ancestors can enjoy the natural gifts this planet provides for us.

More Messages to the Future

 

To the wonderful children of our family – Elayna, Julianna, and James –

There is no issue more important to your future and your friends’ future than stemming climate change.
 

Dear Me,

Today, I promise to keep my spaces clean and my environment cleaner.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I will become the change I wish to see in the world.
 

To My Dear Grandchildren,

Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.
 

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.
 

Dearest Gray,

When I asked you why the purple Violet called to you, you told me it was “magic”. I hope that you can still find the magic of life. I hope, despite everything, it is still in abundance.
 

Dear future me,

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.
 

Dear ACS, LG, CM, MCD, AH, MS, AS, GL, and ERD,

I commit to demanding that politicians that want my vote, my time, my substantial help and expertise are people who seek to address climate change seriously and talk about it boldly.
 

Dear Evan,

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.”  Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

Don’t use plastic straws!
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will eat vegan, organic, locally grown, and seasonal.
 

Dear You Tomorrow,

What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.
