Dear Parks,

You’re only 15 months old and already I fear for the world you’ll know. I’ve been doing my best over the past few years to lessen my impact on the planet, but I know there’s more that I can do to give you a better future. I promise to talk to more people, to take more initiatives, to FOCUS on how serious this problem is instead of believing people with more power will make changes. Because they haven’t and they aren’t. They have other priorities (the wrong ones, in my opinion) and I need to do more. I love you so much and hope that the world you live in at my age is BETTER than the one I live in now.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Hannah, Harper and future baby of Ryan and Colleen Lane,

I will not stop fighting for a more sustainable future, your future.
 

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 Alyssa,

I pray that more and more fathers will realize that to love their children well, they have to love and respect the ecological systems around them too.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
 

I promise to stop eating junk food.
 

Dear Children and Grandchildren,

I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.
 

For those who come after us,

This is for the countless children I already see suffering the impact of climate change around the world, and the generations to follow.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

Don’t use plastic straws!
 

Dear Maret,

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.
 

To my wide-eyed warrioresses,

Since my two daughters emerged into this world, all of my tomorrows have become more dear.
 

Future Self & Ka’iulani,

We promise to reduce the amount of carbon we use on a daily basis.
