Dear Tomorrow,

I hope there are still trees around you, animals to look at and clean air to breathe. I hope that the people of my generation have begun considering your lives more closely than their own, and that more people have understood that there needs to be more done for the future rather than themselves.

I’m sorry for the destruction, on my behalf and on behalf of my generation as well. We could have done so much more for you but we were too selfish, and too lazy to realize it.

I hope you can take our mistakes as lessons, and realize it’s not all about you but about the future as well. And that you have learned to be much more selfless than us. Observe your suffrage, and realize that you can save the suffrage of many others ahead of you.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Future Me,

I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.
 

Dear Eleanor,

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
 

Dear Tom and Leena,

I want you to only see the beauty in this world; there is so much of it and I will protect this beauty for as long as I am here on this Earth.
 

Dear loved ones in the future,

Even if it pains me to imagine how things are back home in Puerto Rico at the moment, I know things will flourish again. The land will heal, but we need to help it.
 

Olá minha querida filha Julia,

Muita Coragem e força para você enfrentar todos os desafios que virão, pois são com eles que crescemos.
 

Hey Kiddos!

My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.
 

To my great-great grandchildren,

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.
 

Dear Darlings,

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.
 

To My Future Children,

Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.
 

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 Tomorrow-My letter to the future 2030

I am most sorry we could not work through our differences, and see through the greed, get organized, and do more so that you could have a better life in your 2030 future.
 

To the future generations,

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.
