Dear Mother Earth,
I vow to protect you by being a lifelong vegan.
My grandchildren,
I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.
To my dear son,
Last year most of the world’s reefs turned white at some point, but because it was underwater you and your friends didn’t see.
To my daughter,
The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
Dear future child whatever your name is,
Climate change right now is really bad, I’m writing this during the COP26 conference in Glasgow (which is an hour away) and I’m listening to politicians talking about promises for the future. “If we fail, future generations will never forgive us.” -Boris Johnson
Dear Valentina & Luis,
You both know I have made it my mission to get people to understand more about the state of our planet‘s climate and what was at stake.
To Annika, Anders, Stella, Eva, and Mickey,
In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.
To My Friends, Family and Future Grandchildren,
I realize my reflection of the past, current and future state of the environment paints a grim and pessimistic picture, but I feel optimistic in our ability to turn planet Earth’s fate around if we all work together and commit to making a change.
To My Grandchildren,
It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures. These are the confessions of a climate activist:
Dear Society,
If we work together to spread the awareness of what is occurring today, we will be able to prevent it from continuing into the tomorrow.
Dear Alba:
There is still a lot of beauty and I will do what I can to keep it from slipping away.
Dear Tomorrow
Colin
Dear Tomorrow,
My climate promise is to reduce electricity at home. I will turn off the TV and lights when I’m not in the room.
