Dear Mitch JR,

Dear Mitch JR, you are my son and I love you. We are already seeing the cataclysmic effects of global climate change and sadly it is going to get worse. Worse to a point I hope this note reaches you. It is common for every current generation to throw blame on the past generation, and I hope mine is the one that takes initiative. I promise I will take action and make a difference so you can live a healthy life with an abundance of resources and a stable climate. I will push for renewable energy sources, the whole world can get on board. Many nations in Europe are taking huge strides in renewables and seeing these wind farms in the French countryside first hand is inspiring to say the least. We need to take a step back, view our anthropogenic impacts. I think we need to restructure how we are growing food, move towards renewables and start more extensive conservation work. Scientists need to be valued and we can no longer have partisan views on this issue. I have faith somehow in this generation and we can make change.

Querida Emanoely,

To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,

Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII.  I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
 

To what we’ve overcome.

The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.
 

dear future children,

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

I pledge to stop using plastic bags.
 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
 

Dear Gabriel,

Dear Tomorrow,

I’ll buy only food that I plan to eat before it spoils.
