Dear next generation,

I am writing this with utter disbelief but with lots of enthusiasm and hope for a better tomorrow. It was today that we humans got the sad news about our earth’s state. We read in the newspapers, magazines and websites that the sperm count was plummeting and the carbon dioxide emissions beyond control. I hope my fellow environmentalists and or Rotarians managed it to make you alive. Please don’t wait to see the adverse effects instead adopt that river, stream, lake or ocean to make the world a better place. I hope you will get to read this.
Hopeful environmentalist and Rotarian Lagat.

To My Future Child(ren),

The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?

To my brother’s children,

We wondered about how we might be able to eliminate plastics from our day to day routines, and recycled literally everything. We were amazing, you should have seen us. Now and again though, we wondered if these were the right questions.
 

To my daughter and her children,

As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.
 

My grandchildren,

I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.
 

To my daughter and son,

Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
 

Dear Before The Flood team,

We can all be aware and sensitized to the problem, so that we are ready to embrace the solutions that will come our way. In doing so, we can all be part of the solution.
 

Dear future generations,

Young people are making a lot of noise and politicians are now listening.
 

Dear People Of The Future,

It’s scary, this is the stuff you see in movies about the end of the world.
