Dear People of Tomorrow,

August 21,2022

The world in which we live now is under stress with extreme weather events such
as droughts, floods, fires, and lack of water etc. It is a beautiful world, but it’s well-
being is threatened by the climate crisis, of which we all are a part of. Societal
thinking seems to be unable to act and prevent a disaster until a crisis is declared.
We are in the abyss of such a crisis, but though there are thousands who are
trying to do their part in creating positive change, today their voices are not
heeded worldwide.
We have enjoyed a world of beauty, plenty, and minimal environmental disaster,
but mourn, to contemplate the world into which you may have grown. You are
the inheritors of much, and also have the ability to make changes to survive the
physical destruction, which may have come to you by now.
It is by understanding your fellow humans, by working with them to create
positive change and beginning to create a fellowship of caring individuals, that the
future of this earth may be a good one. The creation of true friendship,
compassion and mutual goal setting is the cornerstone of fashioning a green
world. It is only by becoming caring people TOGETHER can a peaceful and green
world emerge.

Dear future generations,

Past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and hunted all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left.

 

Dear Generations to Be,

If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love.

 

Dear Nephew,

I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.

 

To my daughters,

In order for you two be happy and healthy, we all need to work hard to prevent climate change.

 

To my dear children in the year 2050,

I don’t wish to go backwards, but I do wish we would slow down and design our brave new world with more care.

 

Dear future loved ones,

As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.
