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.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will do everything I can to help fight against climate change.
To my Maria and her children,
I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.
Dear little one,
In the coming months, we plan to complete a full assessment of our environmental impact online. We hope to discover our biggest areas of resource consumption, learn what we can do better, and create an action plan to improve over the next year.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to buy organic food and run more and bike more! (I could use the exercise.)
Dear Tomorrow,
I will encourage composting at work.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.
Dear You Tomorrow,
What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.
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 Students,
I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.
Dear Abigail and Olivia,
What stories will you tell them about our generation? Will we be heroes or villains?
To my child,
For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
