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.

Chers Enfants,

 

Dear You Tomorrow,

What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.

 

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.

 

Dear Kai and Leah,

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate action is to educate youth to create solutions for energy efficiency and conservation opportunities.

 

Dear girls,

I love you and I care deeply about your future.

Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.

 

Dear Future,

I hope that things have cooled down. I hope that people and governments have come together to save our earth. I hope that everyone is able to breath clean air, drink clean water and see the beauty in nature that I do. I promise to do my best to take part in repairing the damage we’ve done so that my hopes may come true.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to turn old shirts into produce bags.
