Letter to myself in future, my future kids and people of future generation,

Writing this letter to myself in future, my future kids and people of future generation who will take their time out of the busy schedule to read this short letter written through my perspective of how we as humans or so called “rational animals” are destroying nature more than embracing and adding beauty to it.We are often so busy with our lives to make ourselves successful, ourselves the best, but we forget to achieve that we are throwing the best we have away. Our nature our planet, our resources, our home. We feel like we have come so far from the stone age, we have evolved so much and we are said to be the most superior animals as we can think critically, and differentiate between right and wrongs, but at this point in time I want to encourage my fellow world citizens to ask this question one more time.

Climate change is one of the most critical global challenges of our times. Recent events have demonstrated our growing vulnerability to climate change. Climate change impacts range from affecting agriculture, further endangering food security, to sea-level rise, increasing the intensity of natural disasters, species extinction, and spread of vector-borne diseases. More than ever today humans are degrading the environment in pursuit of personal and financial gains. In some cases, they do not know the effects of their actions. But oftentimes, they simply do not want the consequences of their actions on the environment known to the public. And even if the event is public there are some corrupt Politicians and businessman that go on to say that it is nothing but a big Hoax. But the fact(Science) is giving statistical results proving the hypothesis of global warming is not fake, so as an educated individuals and a global citizen we need to preserve what we have so the generations to come can enjoy the resource, the beauty Earth has to offer.

Coming from a developing country I have seen many unfortunate events that were the result of global warming leading to climate change, and developing countries like mine. These countries not only emit the least CO2 per capita, they also contribute the least total emissions on a global scale. But in return the emissions emitted by first world countries effects developing countries the most. This is due to many factors, including the economic importance of climate-sensitive sectors of these countries (e.g. agriculture) and the limited financial and human capacity to respond to the impacts of climate change.

We as global citizens should take an initiative to help out the cause climate change. First, and most important thing is awareness, to educate youth and adults in the community about the science of climate change, the need to take action and specific ways to do so. And next thing we can do is always start with ourselves, if one person thinks I can make a difference, then just imagine if every one of us 7.6 billion individuals thought like this, the difference we can make. So today we need to think about tomorrow, to preserve it before its too late. Lastly I want to end by saying this “If you don’t think about tomorrow today, there will be no tomorrow”.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Logan,

I am working every second of my life, with every ounce of my being, to ensure that I am leaving you and your brother a planet that is safe and secure.

 

To my Kids,

I wish you all the best and always make sure that you can be proud of yourself and don’t need status-symbols for feeling nice.

 

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 Tomorrow,

I haven’t met you yet, but I already know you deserve a better tomorrow.

 

To the Three most Beautiful Souls I could ever Know,

I promise to keep your Love at the forefront of my every move. I will make personal changes and I will learn more, so that I can contribute to a healthier environment in a meaningful way.

 

To all the children of the future and those who love them,

While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.

 

Dear Daughter,

Tonight at bedtime, you asked, seemingly out of nowhere, “why are the glaciers disappearing?”

Dear Lila

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.

 

Oh My Lovely Faizan,

I love you my son. You are waking up now. Hopefully tomorrow, more of us will, too.

 

Dear Seamus and Tuva,

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.
