Dear Tomorrow,

I’m ashamed to think of how we are currently treating the world and what hardships you and everyone will face as a result. It is May 2, 2016; I am writing in my last class ever as a senior in college, about to enter a world which is still denying that climate change exists. I hope that our world will realize it’s fatal flaws and change before it is too late. I’m trying to do everything in my power to reduce my footprint and help change the world for the better. Only time will tell whether everyone will do the same.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

Love, help and build a future in unison that benefits and protects the whole world.
 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.
 

Dear friends,

We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.
 

Dear Chay and Kate,

Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.
 

To my Beloved Future Children,

Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.
 

Dear Daughter,

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.
 

Dear Seamus and Tuva,

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.
 

The gift for next generation,

To save the big world, perhaps, we should change the mind from myself to my small family to my community.
 

Dear future child whatever your name is,

Climate change right now is really bad, I’m writing this during the COP26 conference in Glasgow (which is an hour away) and I’m listening to politicians talking about promises for the future. “If we fail, future generations will never forgive us.” -Boris Johnson
 

Dear Tomorrow,

The only way to survive it, even if you don’t feel like you’re winning, is to keep your hands on the rope.
 

Dear Erica and Matthew,

I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.
 

My grandchildren,

I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.
