Dear tomorrow’s me and to anyone who may read,

Although 2020 has been a wild year, we must never forget that small choices and changes can collectively lead to a profound positive effect on the future. With global climate change posing a huge threat for the future, we must remember to make decisions that benefit the long-term. Buy LEDs instead of fluorescent bulbs. Watch TV in one room. Reduce the amount of electricity we use. Buy local produce and fewer processed foods.

I hope that the government is able to finally make a movement away from oil and fossil fuels and towards renewable energies. If the government is able to enforce better environmental regulations on companies doing huge damage to forests and land, as well as large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions. I hope that someone in power will resist the lobbying of large corporations and actually take steps to save the Earth.

In the future, I promise to be more mindful of the products I buy. To companies, what speaks words better than our money? Buying power of the consumers has the power to change the world. We must demand ethically and locally sourced products that do not exploit the labor and resources of the Earth. I promise to buy fewer processed foods that emit fewer emissions. I promise to be mindful of the amount of time I spend watching TV and driving unnecessarily short distances. I promise to put in the effort to find out where my food is coming from, rather than just automatically buying the cheapest items.

To My Fellow Two-Spirits,

Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.

 

Querida Emanoely,

Gostaria que você se lembrasse das lições simples que mamãe e papai te ensinou, como cuidar das plantas e dos espaços coletivos.

Dear Future

My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.

Was wohl der Klimawandel im Jahr 2050 macht? und wer gerade in der Politik ist? Bei uns macht der Klimawandel gerade Vollgas und an der Macht ist Angela Merkel, seit 16 Jahren
