2016…And I’m worried about our fate. Some of us realize that climate change IS happening, as we speak. Sadly, very few seem to want to do anything about it. There are even some fools who dismiss it all as a hoax. Chances are that by 2030 I’ll no longer be above the sod…So I hope that anyone reading this will be able to say “Rest easy, Dave. They finally acted, and we’re gonna be alright.”
To the reader I say “Good luck. God bless.”

Dear Nuriel, Eliran, and Rotem,
Sometimes I think we will never make it, but I know we must keep trying.
Dear Tara,
I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise when I start my baking franchise, I will reduce pollution made by it as much as physically possible.
To my dearest Gabriel,
What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.
Dear Jeremy,
We had a lot in common obviously, and our concern for the planet we live on was one of the many things we bonded over.
Dear love,
The world is facing some serious crises right now as Viral pandemic and war situation between Ukraine and Russia.
Dear Jack,
Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.
Dear Students,
I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.
To My Friends, Family and Future Grandchildren,
I realize my reflection of the past, current and future state of the environment paints a grim and pessimistic picture, but I feel optimistic in our ability to turn planet Earth’s fate around if we all work together and commit to making a change.
Dear Alyssa,
I pray that more and more fathers will realize that to love their children well, they have to love and respect the ecological systems around them too.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to ditch all the natural gas and go all electric with my home!
