I’ll keep the trees on my property so you have a place to hide and climb, I’ll keep the hose trickling in the bucket so you have a source of water, I’ll keep the fences down so you have easy passage, I’ll shut down the neighbors who try fencing in your forest, and i’ll keep watering the old trees to keep the air fresh and the oxygen rich until the day I die.
Dear Gabriel,
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – The Lorax
Dear Nephew,
I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will eat vegan, organic, locally grown, and seasonal.
For those who come after us,
This is for the countless children I already see suffering the impact of climate change around the world, and the generations to follow.
Hi buddy,
I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.
Dear Tomorrow
I promise to educate others TODAY.
To the future generations,
I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.
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?
Dear future child whatever your name is,
Climate change right now is really bad, I’m writing this during the COP26 conference in Glasgow (which is an hour away) and I’m listening to politicians talking about promises for the future. “If we fail, future generations will never forgive us.” -Boris Johnson
Dear future self,
I am writing this to keep myself accountable and push myself towards taking action towards a sustainable future. I hope children of the future can still appreciate the wonders that nature and all its beings have to offer, appreciate the beauty in the world around us.
Dear Lucy,
The clock ticks, time passes, and the earth and all of its inhabitants move closer to dangerous boundaries we can dimly discern but cannot see clearly.
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.
