Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to ride more and drive less.
Dear Maya,
Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.
Dear 2050,
Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.
To my future children,
It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.
Dear Hannah, Harper and future baby of Ryan and Colleen Lane,
I will not stop fighting for a more sustainable future, your future.
Dear Son,
I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to stop eating beef.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit, use metal straws, take quick showers.
Dear Future Self,
It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
Dear Indigenous Persons with Disabilities,
Dear Indigenous Persons with Disabilities,
Dear Eleanor,
You are so small. So innocent. So beautiful. For you and for everyone else, I will try harder.
Dear Sadie,
You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.
