Dear Kids of the Future,

I hope that this letter will make it to you. 2050 seems like a time far away from now. By then I will be 49! I can’t even imagine what the world may be like by then. Currently, it seems that many world leaders are apathetic or are slow to create change to mitigate or adapt to what is currently happening to our planet. However, there is still hope! There are people working and advocating for the earth. So my promise to the kids of 2050, is that I will try everyday to make sustainable decisions. I am going to spend as much time possible learning, educating and enjoying the beautiful world we live in. I promise to reduce my carbon footprint, and also teach others too.

My wish for all of you is that the people of the present wake up and are able to change their habits. I hope you will be able to trek along mountain peaks and valleys, exploring glaciers and the meadows that they feed. I hope that the world is safe yet still wild for you to experience.

I promise to do my best to protect the planet for your generation. So that you can also continue to protect it for the children who come next.

Love,

Kennedy-Anne

Querida Emanoely,

Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

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.

I will keep trying Kaydence, I promise. And I hope we can look back together in 2050 and smile, knowing that our Earth is healthy once again.
 

Dear Kids,

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.
 

To older Rochelle,

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
 

Dear Nieces and Nephews,

I tried.
 

Dear Lucy,

The clock ticks, time passes, and the earth and all of its inhabitants move closer to dangerous boundaries we can dimly discern but cannot see clearly.

 

Dear next generation,

I hope that by the time you’re reading this, things have changed and people have started to protect the earth
 

Dear Tomorrow,

It wasn’t about Him, it was about Us. And this isn’t about Me, it’s about You. And it won’t be about You, it will be about Them.
 

Dear Future,

“I knew you would want to know how the future turned out. You got so anxious about climate change as we grew older.  By coming back, I thought I could help you with that.”
