Dear Maria-Jesus Rojas,

Dear Future Maria,

It is currently 2020 and our Earth is slowly starting to get hotter and hotter and more polluted. We live in Florida right now and our winters no longer get hotter than 70 degrees! Many people don’t seem to have any regard for climate change, but it is a lot more serious then it is made out to be. Everyone has theories as to when the world will end because of climate change, but only you can know the real answer to that. Climate Change has recently been causing many glaciers to melt due to warm weathers and so far 2020 is on path to being the hottest year. I promise to try and make a difference to prepare this world to be at its best for you 30 years from now. I will talk to our parents about powering our home with renewable energy, reduce water waste, buy better bulbs, and unplug things when they aren’t in use. I am determined to make this Earth one you can live on to read this letter.

As Always Much Love,

Trini

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to recycle and compost.
 

Dear future loved ones,

As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.
 

Dear June and Colin,

I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise when I start my baking franchise, I will reduce pollution made by it as much as physically possible.
 

Dear Daughter,

Tonight at bedtime, you asked, seemingly out of nowhere, “why are the glaciers disappearing?”

 

Dear Future,

I will use less plastic.
 

Dear Children,

I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.
 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.
 

My darling girls,

I can be brave enough to wake up.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I promise to reduce my waste production
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to contact my local officials on passing measures against climate change
 

To the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
