This is for you guys,

We’ve made it another year; no apocalyptic movie predicting the end of the world has been accurate thus far, so that’s something to be happy about. What these crazy unseen futures tell us is that nothing is set in stone about the world; there is no magic day where the heavens come crashing down onto us and sweep Earth in bountiful natural disasters. There will be no day when the Earth goes up into flames in one second. It will be a buildup, a progression of neglect and abuse that will end the world. This will also not happen within one generation, thankfully, but could happen within several generations. We underestimate Earth; we think she’s some weak, fragile being that once there’s magnificent change she is unable to bounce back. When in history has Earth not been able to regenerate? Exactly- nowhere. She has taken almost 6 great extinctions, 5 ice ages, and endless instances of species revolutionizing in her. There is no set variable that determines how much is too much for Earth, because she will always find a way. I trust in God he lets my witness this.

I am really worried about are the animals. See, no population really cares about the animals enough. Yeah, we set up zoos and breeding programs and preach to everyone how these animals will be off the face of the Earth, but no giant steps were taken in their favor. Nothing positive we did could compare to the way we hunt all of them to near extinction every day. Or how the entire planet is one big slaughterhouse where unspeakable acts of torture are inflicted on helpless, very alive animals. There is just too much suffering. I feel completely hopeless for the future of animals most days, and secretly hope all of them would go extinct just so they would not suffer anymore. However, the future does tend to surprise, and I know the ridiculous game of hunting and useless slaughter of animals for toxic food will be compared to owning slaves: complete idiocracy. You guys won’t believe we did it! What I believe will happen is that the mere thought of you guys not being able to see a cuddly, giant panda will motivate the entire world to save the bulk of them, as this is all for you guys.

I’m optimistic because the Earth is so boundless that no matter how far we dig ourselves, we find something to pull us up. Humans! We really are magnificent. You’re probably frustrated at the stupid things we had committed during earlier times, but I know things changed. It’s because we educated ourselves, and then you guys. I remember talk of how no one wanted kids, how kids left too much of a carbon footprint that that sacrifice was no longer acceptable given the grave conditions. But we realized individuals are not at fault. Babies are not at fault; for they are the reassurance mankind is still thriving. Nothing will get better by people just refusing to have kids; it is how we live day by day within a family that changes things. It is the mindset, not the quality. If every child helped the Earth in some way, surely that would be better than less people who do nothing. All of these steps we take are for you guys, even if we want to admit it or not. Yeah, humans can be pretty brutal. But a world without them? That would be going down in defeat. And we are not quitters. We built metal of out of the ground, erected great, giants skyscrapers, and cultivated cultures that inspired millions of books. Surely, we can find a way out of this. I’d like to end with a secret: we already have the technology; we just don’t have the will. Surely, that will come in your time because everything we do, every model we shape, and every thought we form is for the betterment of you guys.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Future,

I hope that things have cooled down. I hope that people and governments have come together to save our earth. I hope that everyone is able to breath clean air, drink clean water and see the beauty in nature that I do. I promise to do my best to take part in repairing the damage we’ve done so that my hopes may come true.

Dear future me,

I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.

 

Dear Makena,

Sweetie, you deserve clean air, water and soil. You deserve to thrive in an environment that supports you.

 

Hallo Clara,

Was wohl der Klimawandel im Jahr 2050 macht? und wer gerade in der Politik ist? Bei uns macht der Klimawandel gerade Vollgas und an der Macht ist Angela Merkel, seit 16 Jahren
What will climate change do in 2050? and who is in politics right now? Climate change is at full throttle here and Angela Merkel has been in power for 16 years.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

Don’t use plastic straws!

 

Dear Ya’Ash,

There are many paths to Truth, but regardless of your faith or ideology, one truth is above all else: Life must continue.

 

Dear Tomorrow

I hope that environmental issues are a thing of the past.

 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to turn old shirts into produce bags.

 

Dear Sander,

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.

 

To my Children,

As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.
