Dear Spike, Loulou and Yoshua,

I saw the movie Before the Flood; I work in Sustainability so I know the situation was bad. But.. it’s more than bad, it’s terrible. If we do not act immediately, we’ll leave you a destroyed world. That’s why I do not want to wait anymore. It’s not enough to be a vegetarian, to use solar energy and be a farmer in a biological csa. So I’m going to start a campaign to try to convince everybody in the Netherlands to not eat meat one day a week. Meat is a big CO2 supplier and eating meat benefits animal cruelty. I hope I can do something in this way to create a better world for you and your beloved.

xxx Yolande

More Messages to the Future

 

dear future people (:

I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

Don’t use plastic straws!
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to reduce electricity at home. I will turn off the TV and lights when I’m not in the room.
 

Dear Earth,

I will keep the air clean so everyone can see the sunset.
 

Querida Futuro Yo,

Quiero que puedas decirme que lo hemos logrado, y que el mundo hoy es un poquito mejor porque nosotras pusimos de nuestra parte.
 

Dear Students,

My act of love will be to use all the power I have, during the rest of my life, to stop climate change.
 

To older Rochelle,

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
 

To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.
 

Dear Seamus and Tuva,

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will only use renewable energy.
 

Dear Finley,

I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
 

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.
