I do not know if you’ll ever see the beautiful world that I saw. From the beautiful rainforest to the beautiful ocean. All of those are gone now, all because of us. We knew what we were doing was terrible yet we never did anything to stop it. And for that I’m Sorry. I hope you can learn from all of our mistakes and recreate the beautiful world that I once saw. I know you can do it.
We will look back on our time here and ask, “What did I do?”
If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.
Dear Evan,
We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
Dear Tomorrow
I will become the change I wish to see in the world.
Dear Tara,
Each of us only has so much power and the problem is HUGE, but I worked at this every day.
Dear Grandchildren — August and any others who were born after him
I joined millions of other people who wrote letters and made calls urging our leaders to do more to care for the planet.
Dear Alanna and Valeria,
I promise you to keep trying, to keep educating, to keep pushing our elected officials to act and protect your health now and in the future.
To My Grandchildren,
It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures. These are the confessions of a climate activist:
To all the children of the future and those who love them,
While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.
Dear Future Generations,
I promise to make as many changes to my life as possible to make yours as great as mine.
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.
Dear Darlings,
I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.
I promise to plant trees and to turn off the lights.
