Dear Mother Nature,

I love you. I want to remain a child at heart and enjoy laying in your golden fields. I want to cherish when the ice turns concrete into a billion little crystals. I want to watch the sunset and sunrise with a cup of coffee. I know I’m young. Only 18 but I have lived 18 years in love of everything you offer. You offer sunshine and rain, snow, immense beauty and desertion.

For as long as I can remember you have acted like a friend to me. I could tell you what was in my heart and over time we would watch each other grow and evolve. It seems you are going through a rough time right now. I’m sorry. I know I could’ve done better and cared about you just a little bit more. It saddens me that the world is in this state.

I hope in time. Soon. Everyone will see how amazing you are and be influenced to treat you right. You deserve better. I hope that we all take the extra step to make some changes, no matter how small they are. It will at least mean we see and we care.

I know I haven’t done the most or tried my hardest, but I promised myself long ago I would enjoy the simple things in life. And I promise that even though I might not be able to every day I will try to thank you for being here for me. I will try to take out red meat from my diet again. I promise to use more natural products and be careful in what I use and do and how it might affect you. I don´t want to lose you and I promise to care and love you forever.

Cool, now that your jetpack is put away in your garage where you keep your flying car; how did the aliens save us from our own destruction? Did they have this hyper advance vacuum that just sucks all the greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere?
 

Dear Emile and Eloise,

The beauty and majesty of the world of your childhood is as remarkable as the beauty and majesty of mine, but the fragility of your childhood world is so much greater.

Dear Daughter,

Even when contemplating huge global-historical issues — especially then — it’s important to stay grounded in the present time and place, the specific here and now, and the minute affairs of everyday interpersonal relations.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.
