My dear boys <3
I hope we were able to leave the world a in better place for you and your families. My dream for you both is that you’re enjoying the sunshine, feeling the sand in your toes, feeling the warm spring breeze on your face and listening to the sounds of nature.
I hope the world still provides the wonder and amazement right now as you experienced at ages 7 and 3.
Dear Victoria, sugar pie honey bunch, chiquita loquita,
How can I look at your bright eyes and light dance and tell you we are facing a war?
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to reach out to more people to ditch driving and consider using public transportation. I promise to convince Marin markets that sensible policies in density and mixed use planning will further enhance everyone’s quality of life.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to work with my family and neighbors to reduce carbon output.
Dear future loved ones,
As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.
Dear Logan,
I am working every second of my life, with every ounce of my being, to ensure that I am leaving you and your brother a planet that is safe and secure.
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 Alba:
There is still a lot of beauty and I will do what I can to keep it from slipping away.
Dear Peyton and Lucas,
I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!
To older Rochelle,
You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.
Dear Tomorrow
Colin
Dear girls,
I love you and I care deeply about your future.
Dear 2050,
Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.
