Dear unknown future person reading this a minute after I press send or a hundred years from now…

I will try to come out of this crisis making more of an effort to imagine, create and live in a world that treats other people, animals and the matter of the world itself so much better.

Every single day I will strive for these changes wherever and whenever I can. Sometimes in my kitchen; sometimes in my street and other days with action and ideas for the sea and skies beyond.

I will try to change and hope it makes a difference to you.

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
