To Future Descendants,

I am writing this to you because the world that I live in now is extremely divided, in a world where people do not trust each other and a world where environmental activists are silenced.

Those people on the wrong side have mututal interests and are threatening the very existence of the human race. Climate change is a serious issue, but in today’s world no one seems to be taking climate change seriously. I have witnessed ice melting at an increasing rate, I experienced weird weather patterns at multiple locations around the world and still too many people today ignore scientific facts and reality and stick to being ignorant.

I believe this letter would serve you as a reminder of the serious obstacles that we need to overcome. Past approaches have not been successful. We need to take a different approach towards fighting the elite group of corporations who are hindering our efforts to save the only great planet out there. We are trying to populate other planets for habitat but cannot seem to fix the planet we are in.

I write to you so that you can learn from our mistakes and ignorance and choose a different path for bringing action against climate change.

Dear Tomorrow,

I will do my part to help ensure that there is an Earth left when we are done borrowing it.
 

Dear Finley,

I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
 

Anya,

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.
 

Dear Evan,

We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
 

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.
 

Minhas lindas,

As causas das mudanças no clima são tão profundas e envolvem tanta gente e tantos lugares.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to put in a rain catcher tank.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

The transformation of human consciousness
 

Dear Jack,

Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.
 

Dear Children and Grandchildren,

I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.
 

Dear Hailey and Lily,

We know about this. If we don’t fix this for you, it’s our fault.
 

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.
