Dear Me,

I hope when you read this we are continuing to improve the world around us. We have seen the destruction that has occurred due to human activity with mass extinctions, habitat loss, air pollution and many more. This destruction hurts everyone in various ways including future generations who will be living in a world of consequences from our contributions to climate change if we do not take individual and systemic action. When looking at these large problems it can be difficult to see how our small actions can make any change. We must do what we can to make the world a cleaner place and make known to those around us how we have impacted the world for the short time humans have been alive. This is why I am starting to take action now by continuously learning about climate change, supporting organizations pursuing climate justice, and making changes in diet and energy use habits. While these things are small they will contribute to the good everyone else is doing as well. We are acting with millions of people around the world who also recognize the problems we cause through climate change. I implore all these years later to continue doing this work, expanding upon what I am starting, and continue to make the world a cleaner place.

Caro Giovanni,

Dobbiamo aiutare nel conservare il bello che c’è nel nostro pianeta.

 

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.

 

For my most dear and only daughter,

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through. 

 

Dear future love,

A culture of consumption is the reason that my world faces such an ecological crisis, it is both necessary and proper to address the fundamental mindsets that have created such a destructive culture.

 

Dear future generations,

I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.

 

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.

 

dear earth,

I promise those who walked the Earth before me and those who will walk the Earth after me that I will not stand by and let nature slip through my fingers.

 

Dear Kids,

I know it’s long past time to wake up. You deserve a future in which drought, famine, and war are not all your children ever know; the choices my generation makes now will determine your future.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to reach out to more people to ditch driving and consider using public transportation. I promise to convince Marin markets that sensible policies in density and mixed use planning will further enhance everyone’s quality of life.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use my reusable water bottle more often

 

Querida Futuro Yo,

Quiero que puedas decirme que lo hemos logrado, y que el mundo hoy es un poquito mejor porque nosotras pusimos de nuestra parte.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
