Dear June and Colin,

It is 2022. The last couple years have been exceptionally difficult and revealing about the present threat of climate change. I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.

You two are what give me the courage to move forward and give everything that I can to fight for your futures. I promise to keep working with others who are fighting for climate justice, to keep engaging with political leaders to act for you, and all children who deserve a better future. Yes, I promise to keep doing what we can as a family to live with an eco conscience and low carbon footprint… but I know that’s just not enough when the issues are systemic and political.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to recycle and compost.
 

Dear Jamie and Jason,

My inspiration was the two of you. It started with thinking about the world you were inheriting and what your future was going to be like. But then you taught me how important it is to listen to you – to listen to young people.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I feel optimistic for you, tomorrow. I can feel a shift happening already.
 

Dear future self,

I am writing this to keep myself accountable and push myself towards taking action towards a sustainable future. I hope children of the future can still appreciate the wonders that nature and all its beings have to offer, appreciate the beauty in the world around us.
 

Dear A and C,

You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.
 

To my unborn children, hey it’s mummy Cris here!

I am witnessing climate change in a way that I do not like, and I do not know how can I stop it.
 

To my brother’s children,

We wondered about how we might be able to eliminate plastics from our day to day routines, and recycled literally everything. We were amazing, you should have seen us. Now and again though, we wondered if these were the right questions.
 

Dear Evan,

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.”  Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
 

I pledge to use less plastic!
 

BATMAN SAYS, “LISTEN!”

How can I help you save the world and our country?
 

Dear friend,

I will fight for this cause and I will never ever give up because we, the youngsters, are the hope.
 

Dear my future family,

I will promise to help climate change as much as I can.
