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.

Dear Emilia and Tommy,

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.
 

Dear Future Self,

It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
