Dear Sammy,

As a 20 year old college student I am learning so much about importance of sustainability and outcomes of climate change. By this time you will be 34 years old. It is scary to learn about these things regularly because the future holds so many unknowns. There are some things that we do know about the future. The climate will continue to rise no matter what we do so we need to find a way to slow down this process and give back to the planet. The Earth has provided us with all the resources we need to thrive on this planet. We have taken advantage of the abundance of resources that the Earth has provided us with. We then distributed these resources unevenly throughout the planet to make a profit rather than providing the public with equal access to resources that are necessary to live. Because people have and still take advantage of the resources that we are provided on this planet, we must now take action to try and slow the climate change and mass extinction processes. I promise that from now on I will take shorter showers, walk when possible, take public transportation as much as possible, stop irrigating my lawn, eat less meat, and do everything I can to reduce the amount of waste I am producing. I am sorry for what you might be dealing with in 2050. Hopefully by that point things have changed and there are more sustainability guidelines people and companies must follow. Although there are changes being made right now, it must happen faster. l promise to do everything I can to advocate for change and recognition for climate issues.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Ari and Levi,

Luckily, we have figured out ways to build things without making the air dirty, and we are trying very hard to get more people to switch over to this new way as fast as we can.

 

Dear Chay and Kate,

Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.

 

I pledge to use less plastic.

 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

 

I pledge to use less plastic!

 

Minhas lindas,

As causas das mudanças no clima são tão profundas e envolvem tanta gente e tantos lugares.

 

Dear friends,

We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.

 

Dear Maya, Emilio and Daniel,

We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.

 

Dear tomorrow,

If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.

 

Dear Me,

Today, I promise to keep my spaces clean and my environment cleaner.

 

To my dearest Gabriel,

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.
