Dear Rowan and Sam,

I hope when you read this that you have not only witnessed but also participated in the work that it has taken to divert our planet from catastrophe.

Through my work, and my personal example I hope that i made a difference in some way. I have seen the change with my own eyes over the decades and feared what your future would look like. Despite being fearful, I was excited. You know me and my curiosity; my love for change and doing new things. I was optimistic. I knew from my work in energy that renewables would eventually become our primary energy source. I’ve seen innovation at Green Conferences that were just ideas and I knew that one day they would go mainstream. I had even eaten mealworm bolognese. I knew that big changes were going to come and I was excited that you would be involved in the incredible transformation.

The world we have transitioned to is the world I wish I grew up in.

Enjoy thriving in your harmonious communities, dancing with the wild in the abundance of nature, and eating food that is good for you and the planet.

Love,
Mom

Dear Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?

As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.
 

Dear tomorrow,

Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences.
 

Dear tomorrow,

The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.

 

My Dear Grandchildren,

In writing this letter to you, I am searching for ways to make my connection and commitment to you more present in my current experience
