An action I will be contributing to the future of Canada’s global, and the health of the world is to take fewer showers. I know at least every time I take one I’m using so much water, so I should be cutting out of that starting today. Secondly, something else I can start doing is going for fewer drives if a store or place is somewhat near me. This can help big time for pollution and if everyone did this that’d be a huge change.
Dear Future Self,
More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
My Dear Paloma,
I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will use less fossil fuels.
Dear Tomorrow,
The transformation of human consciousness
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 Lucie,
Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.
People of tomorrow,
Your path will only be as clear tomorrow as we have made it for you today.
Dear grandchild,
There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
Dear Madeline, Ava, and Harper,
What I wish most for you girls is that the care you have shown each other would extend to the big wide world around you.
Dear Before The Flood team,
We can all be aware and sensitized to the problem, so that we are ready to embrace the solutions that will come our way. In doing so, we can all be part of the solution.
Minha pequena Nicole ainda não nos conhecemos, mas já te amo
Deixo para você o meu quintal onde o ar é perfumado pelas flores e árvores, a terra dá frutos e flores além de abrigar muitos bichinhos, a água é utilizada com consciência e o ser humano é respeitado e tratado como alguém que depende da natureza para VIVER.
Dear Me of 2050,
I promise that I will plant more trees in places where there are none.
