Wow you’re now 45 years old! Hopefully you’re happy and have a good job and a lovely family. I hope you’re still aware of climate change and are helping it to have less of a negative effect on the planet. I promise to protect the environment no matter what.
From, you
To my precious children,
As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.
Dear Maret,
Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.
Dear loved ones in the future,
Even if it pains me to imagine how things are back home in Puerto Rico at the moment, I know things will flourish again. The land will heal, but we need to help it.
Dear Evan,
We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
Dear Maya, Emilio and Daniel,
We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will bring permaculture designs to my community.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to educate myself and others about how we can protect and nourish our 1 PLANET
Dear Soren,
In this world that is changing before our eyes, I believe that is our task: standing unflinchingly on the side of love, connecting with others, and forging ahead together.
Querida Emanoely,
Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.
Dear Sadie,
You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.
Dear Grown up Alton and Dot,
The most important thing in my life is you, which means that as your mom – I am doing my very best to make sure that when you read this letter, Earth is a cleaner and safer place for you and your children.
Hi buddy,
I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.
