Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction. We have changed out all our lights to be energy saving. We are checking to make sure we have no dripping water. Not adding to landfills by just getting rid of things. We are doing this by checking with others to see if our discarded items can be of use to them, making it known that items are free for the taking.

This is small but I want Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel to know we can help change our world and make it better for them.

Also I must add I would not have even begun to start thinking of a better tomorrow if I did not have Gabriel’s mother, Jill Kubit, in our life. Happy Mother’s Day Jill. Thank you for a better tomorrow for all grandchildren.

Love,

Lala

Dear Daughter,

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.

 

Dear future generations,

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

 

Dear Grandchildren,

So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.

 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

 

Dear… Parents,

Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.

 

Dear Sander,

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.

 

To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to switch from “light” to “deep” green.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I have solar and will be getting an electric car next week

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to not waste food and eat locally grown food.

 

To my darling ones,

And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age

 

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.
