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

To the People in my Future Life,

Anytime I’m at the crossroads of life, I pray that I, or anyone else in the same position, will keep you in mind, and try to shape a world that’s the best possible for you.
 

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.
 

Dear Future Kids Like Me,

What I hope for future kids like me is that they continue to ride the groundswell of climate change support all the way into action.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will encourage everyone to adopt a plant-based diet. Good for our health, the animals and the planet.
 

My Mini & Lou,

Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
 

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.
 

Our Shared Promise

I will act today so you may have a healthy earth to live on.
 

Dear AC,

I think a lot about where the right place to live is.
 

To my grandchildren,

Ahora vivo en la ciudad de México y cuando debe de llover no llueve… cuando hace calor de verdad hace calor.
 

I promise to take shorter showers.
 

Dear future niece or nephew,

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.
 

Dear Jamie and Jason,

My inspiration was the two of you. It started with thinking about the world you were inheriting and what your future was going to be like. But then you taught me how important it is to listen to you – to listen to young people.
