Dear my unborn child,

I just want you to know that I tried to make this world for you as beautiful as possible. I did this for you because I want you to be able to enjoy nature like I did as a child. When I was a little girl, my mother would always take me to the beach where I learned to swim in the ocean and enjoy the sound of the waves and the salty feeling on my skin. My grandmother would always take us the local beach in my town. I remember finding a baby turtle on the beach and helping it return safely to the bay. My father always took my siblings and I fishing, and skiing upstate.These memories I will cherish forever, but without nature they would never even exists. This is why I hope you can enjoy the sand between your toes and the ocean breeze, and feel the sunshine. Although there has been destruction, but I hope there is a way humanity can turn it around so you can enjoy the beautiful world you were brought into and part of.

Dear Nuriel, Eliran, and Rotem,

Sometimes I think we will never make it, but I know we must keep trying.
 

dear future people (:

I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.
 

To all the children of the future and those who love them,

While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.
 

Dear Eleanor,

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
 

To my children,

If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.
 

Dear Brady,

I will work everyday to combat climate change for your today, for your tomorrow!
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My promise is to continue to dedicate my life, my business, and my future to creating cultures that embrace environmental action not only for our own good, but the good of the countless other species hurting from climate change.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise when I start my baking franchise, I will reduce pollution made by it as much as physically possible.
 

Dear Daughter,

Tonight at bedtime, you asked, seemingly out of nowhere, “why are the glaciers disappearing?”

 

To my Maria and her children,

I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying.
 

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?
