Dear meir,

The world is a gift that is only made possible by one god. We have a responsibility that we must keep it healthy to be able to continue life on earth. I know that the world has made too much pollution and has cut down rainforests. It is a big concern of how much we consume and waste and destroy.

I hope for my future grandchildren, if there will be any, that the world has gotten better. And that energy is used naturally. I hope solar power and wind power electric cars have become a real thing and that global warming is almost fixed or is gone. Please take care of our earth.

Everything depends on the present choices. Each individual counts. You, my precious baby, were given a good birthplace. United States is a prosperous country and you are a New York native. You are blessed with opportunity. If I am still alive I will be 83 years old. I hope I can read this with you. I love you kids!!!

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Future Self,

I hope you got your dream job of using your business degree to reduce co2 emissions and promote sustainable energy.

 

Dear Maddie,

Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and 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.

 

Greetings 2050 earthling,

Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.

 

Dear Future Self,

It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.

 

dear future children,

As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.

 

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 Tomorrow

I hope that environmental issues are a thing of the past.

 

Dear Kai and Leah,

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

 

I promise to take shorter showers.

 

Dear future niece or nephew,

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.
