Dear Patricia,

You are very old now, forty-five to be exact. I hope this letter catches you at a good time, when you are old, happy, and healthy with your child, Blair. I just want you to remember that precisely 29 years ago, we were best friends, and I hope that we still keep in touch now. Although we have our differences sometimes and you forget everything you want to tell me, I hope you know that you mean a lot to me, and I hope that you aren’t dying of climate change (?). I hope that you remember all the fun times we had at Everest, all the weird advice we shared, all the great kwentos, and the boys (Oh boy so many boys). I am so grateful that I have a friend like you. Thank you for everything. CALL ME IN 2050 IF U GET THIS I LOVE YOU BYE BYE

Love your soul sister,

Meagan Co Say

Dear Nieces, Nephews, & Future Children…

If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
 

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
 

To my future children,

I am doing everything I can because I want the footprint that I leave behind to be my feet in the sand on a beach and not a carbon one.
 

Dear Ellie,

My heart is an ocean of love for all the children facing a life of climate catastrophe.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to put in a rain catcher tank.
 

Dear Kaydence,

I will keep trying Kaydence, I promise. And I hope we can look back together in 2050 and smile, knowing that our Earth is healthy once again.
 

Dear grandchild,

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
 

Dear kids of America,

Please eliminate plastic everything
 

Hey kiddo,

I’ll be here to tell you all the ways I have fought for the health of our home, and fought to protect all of the wide, open spaces for you to run in. When you’re old enough, we can fight together.
 

Dear Future Grandchildren,

I hope I can look you in the eye and tell you I honestly did everything I could to protect our planet.
 

Dear future generations,

I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.
