Dear My Future Self,

I will do my best in making this world a better place. I will be conscious with what I put in the trash. I will always recycle and maybe try out a compost at home. I will try and reduce my driving and only buy electric cars in the future if possible. I will keep up with my vegetarian habits to prevent animal abuse and to further reduce my carbon footprint. I will buy more clothing that is sustainable and from companies that are environmentally friendly. I will be as sustainable as I can with my future job. I will teach these practices to my children and anyone close to me so that they can do the same.

Love,

Isabelle

Dear children,

Despite all the difficulties, we are from a family whose principles are honesty and love for others, and that’s what I want to share with you.
 

Dear Nafia,

I also hope that your previous prayers have been answered. The way you wanted to create green jobs for your fellow city dwellers have been fulfilled already.
 

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 Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
 

Queridas crianças do mundo inteiro,

Pedimos que vocês procurem fazer como nós e continuem essa luta de colaborar com nosso planeta: evitando o consumo exagerado, usando a tecnologia para o bem, plantando árvores, economizando água e poluindo menos.

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

Dear Grandchildren — August and any others who were born after him

I joined millions of other people who wrote letters and made calls urging our leaders to do more to care for the planet.
 

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.
 

Dear Elliott,

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.
 

Pick up your trash wherever you go!
 

My future husband,

I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will bring permaculture designs to my community.
