More Messages to the Future
Dear future niece or nephew,
We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.
Dear Makena,
Sweetie, you deserve clean air, water and soil. You deserve to thrive in an environment that supports you.
To my daughter and son,
Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
To the wonderful children of our family – Elayna, Julianna, and James –
There is no issue more important to your future and your friends’ future than stemming climate change.
Querida Futuro Yo,
Quiero que puedas decirme que lo hemos logrado, y que el mundo hoy es un poquito mejor porque nosotras pusimos de nuestra parte.
Dear Great Grandchildren,
If you are reading this, you probably inherited my fascination with ancestry, and the way it uncovers incredible stories of unlikely survival.
Dear Lalo,
I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.
For my most dear and only daughter,
And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through.
Dear Eleanor,
It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
Queridos nietas/nietos,
Creo que debo hacer más. Por ello, he decidido escribir esta breve carta para empezar un proceso en el que vaya escribiendo más cartas, conforme vaya teniendo más claridad de mis posibles contribuciones.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
Dear Corey,
I promise to do all within my power to create a world that’s safe for you and your generation.
