Dear loved one,

I live in a funny time lately – a changing world, with believers and nonbelievers of this change. Our president and people with authority deny climate change but the rest of us know the truth. It is difficult to feel like a single person like me can make a difference but I’m trying my best for your future. I commute each day on the bus to cut down on my carbon emissions from driving. I eat less red meat, since all of the cow’s farts are adding to the carbon build up. I buy local and sustainable foods and clothing whenever possible. I am an advocate for the environment in hopes that we can come out alive from this global shift in temperature that keeps on getting worse as time goes by. The world is changing and I’m changing with it. Each day I set a goal to make more environmentally conscience decisions to benefit this planet and give you a better life.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to live a car-free lifestyle.

 

Anya,

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

 

To My Fellow Two-Spirits,

Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

No plastic straws, no water bottles, shop local, no meat.

 

My Mini & Lou,

Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.

 

Dear Rosie,

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.

 

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.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to ride a bike and take a smart train.

 

dear me in 2030,

I am smelling burning plastic!

 

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,

I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
