Dear son or daughter,

The world we are in today is real nice, even though we are fighting to stop climate change. The conditions will get worse, but since we cannot feel the effects immediately, it is hard to get people to help out. Even though our future seems grim to environmental majors like myself, I have full belief that your life will be full of the same joys as mine. I believe we will figure out this complex problem, because there are too many people who do care for our planet. If this is not the case though, I want to say I am sorry for the tremendous amount I have contributed to the problem. I promise from here on forward that I will do the best I can to take care of the planet.

More Messages to the Future

 

To future Geof,

Cool, now that your jetpack is put away in your garage where you keep your flying car; how did the aliens save us from our own destruction? Did they have this hyper advance vacuum that just sucks all the greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere?

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will aim to lower my carbon footprint!

 

To my Maria and her children,

I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying.

 

Dear Future,

I asked you, the future , to help us as well, to preserve our only planet that can give us life, that can let us watch anime, go to the beach, smell flowers, run through the meadow, listen to our songs, be in a concert, and let us live.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use a water bottle.

 

Hey kiddo,

I’ll be here to tell you all the ways I have fought for the health of our home, and fought to protect all of the wide, open spaces for you to run in. When you’re old enough, we can fight together.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to shop at more farmer’s markets.

 

Dear Future Explorers,

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?

 

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 old dude Mårten,

I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.

 

My dear daughters,

I will use my voice to help bring awareness about climate change.

 

To Annika, Anders, Stella, Eva, and Mickey,

In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.
