More Messages to the Future
To my future children,
I am doing everything I can because I want the footprint that I leave behind to be my feet in the sand on a beach and not a carbon one.
Dear Nafia,
I also hope that your previous prayers have been answered. The way you wanted to create green jobs for your fellow city dwellers have been fulfilled already.
People of tomorrow,
Your path will only be as clear tomorrow as we have made it for you today.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to go to the farmer’s market more
Dear Makena,
Sweetie, you deserve clean air, water and soil. You deserve to thrive in an environment that supports you.
To My Future Children,
I hope by 2050, our society has taken initiative to be producing energy solely through renewable sources.
Cari nipoti,
Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.
Dear Amara and Uma,
Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to sign up for 100% renewable energy.
Dear Tomorrow,
Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.
My darling girls,
I can be brave enough to wake up.
Dear Maddie,
Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and your future.
