Today I taught a lesson about climate change and the importance of a united global response which led to a discussion on the importance Paris Agreement. This made me reflect on when I went to high school and the optimism I had with the Kyoto agreement and the belief we were at the cusp of change. Decades later it is your generation and the growing youth movement that gives me hope.
Dear Peyton and Lucas,
I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!
Dear Me of Tomorrow,
I plan to plant more things this spring, as we do every year in our garden.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use a water bottle.
Dear Future
My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.
My Dear Paloma,
I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will take short showers, eat less meat, and buy local more often.
To my children,
If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.
Dear Nova and Remi,
I wish for you both that another kind of life has been discovered, one of peace, moderation and concern for all life.
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
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 Tomorrow,
I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
