To Aacia,

I’m so sorry so much stress and abundance precarious things have been handed to you and your generation.  It would be easy to ramble on the various negative impacts global climate change has on our land, animals, and way of life, but it’s harder to find a solution when the causes are greater than individual impact. I hope for you now (meaning the future) industrial industries have found a new way of attaining clean energy and everybody uses that energy.  Although, that seems like a stretch. I am doing my part everyday by using public transportation, limiting my car usage and walking, cutting down on water usage, and mindfully purchasing sustainable resources.  I want your life to not be filled with the stressors climate change infringes upon you. I love you so much and our earth so much.

More Messages to the Future

 

To my sons,

I’m voting with climate change as a top priority. I’ve tried to teach you boys that we need to clean up after ourselves and take care of the earth. I promise to continue doing these actions and more, for your sake.
 

Dear Grandchildren — August and any others who were born after him

I joined millions of other people who wrote letters and made calls urging our leaders to do more to care for the planet.
 

To my child,

For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
 

Dear Emilia and Tommy,

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.
 

Dear Kids,

I know it’s long past time to wake up. You deserve a future in which drought, famine, and war are not all your children ever know; the choices my generation makes now will determine your future.
 

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.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise: community awareness of the climate crisis.
 

Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.
 

Dear Gabriel,

One day ten or twenty years from now, when you look back from the future, you will be able to clearly see the entire path.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to not waste food and eat locally grown food.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will aim to lower my carbon footprint!
 

The gift for next generation,

To save the big world, perhaps, we should change the mind from myself to my small family to my community.
