Dear people of 2050,

I hope that you are all doing very well. I hope that in the future the youth and teens of the world are more involved in creating policies and regulations when it comes to climate warming. I hope that people are also more aware of the effects people have on climate change whether it is good or bad. I also hope that more people take into consideration that their actions have an impact on the climate in the short and long run. One thing that I decided to take on a while back is to buy products from corporations that are greener and who do not mass produce the items and create more pollution. Even if they are more expensive, I know that I am also supporting a good cause. I would also hope that the energy we use comes from renewable sources rather than fossil fuels.

Although now the progress of slowing climate change seems a bit distant, I do hope that in the future it does change. Thank you 😀 – TM

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to ditch all the natural gas and go all electric with my home!
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to reach out to more people to ditch driving and consider using public transportation. I promise to convince Marin markets that sensible policies in density and mixed use planning will further enhance everyone’s quality of life.
 

To the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
 

dear future people (:

I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.
 

To my daughter,

The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
 

To my sons,

I’m voting with climate change as a top priority. I’ve tried to teach you boys that we need to clean up after ourselves and take care of the earth. I promise to continue doing these actions and more, for your sake.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

The road I learned to ride my bike on, the field where I kicked my first soccer ball, and the park I ate my first ice cream cone at, could all be gone.
 

To my precious grandchildren, Emma, Maya, Maddie and Will,

With love and a great hope for the future, a future that will be healthy and sustainable for you, my precious grandchildren.
 

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
 

Dear Future Self,

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
 

Caro me stesso,

Non so dove e con chi sarò nel 2050, spero che sia un anno migliore di quello appena passato .
 

Dear Soren,

In this world that is changing before our eyes, I believe that is our task: standing unflinchingly on the side of love, connecting with others, and forging ahead together.
