I hope that by now, your ways have changed. That by now, you know how to treat the earth. Have you stopped climate change? Stopped pollution? Maybe? Hopefully? Are there fewer bad people in this world by now? Has anything changed for the good?
Well, I sure hope so.
Dear A and C,
You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.
Dear Annalyse and Greyson,
See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
To our future generations,
I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.
Dear Future Today,
Here in California we’re starting to recognize our climate changing the natural world around us.
Dear Grandchildren,
So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.
Dear Tomorrow
I will teach my children about a greener earth.
For my children,
If we haven’t done enough and the world you’re living on is apocalyptic or if you’re living on another planet then I’m deeply sorry and just know that I believe in you and I know that you are both strong and smart enough to handle anything.
Dear Makena,
Sweetie, you deserve clean air, water and soil. You deserve to thrive in an environment that supports you.
To my future children,
It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.
Dear Tomorrow,
I have solar and will be getting an electric car next week
Dear Gabriel,
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – The Lorax
Dear fellow human,
May my tomorrow include more attention to these details so that you know that I do care.
