To future generations,

I am currently working towards a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies right now to help preserve the earth for you. My hope is that by the time you’re my age, climate change has begun its reversal and sustainable energy has become more prevalent than fossil fuels. After learning about climate change, ocean acidification, air and water pollution, fresh water shortage, and unsustainable agricultural practices, I felt it was my responsibility to contribute to the reversal of these harmful environmental impacts because they will directly and negatively affect you. I promise to do my part in working towards a sustainable future for you by:

  • Living consciously of my actions and how they will impact you.
  • Reducing my waste and to recycle and compost everything in my ability.
  • Inspiring others around me and businesses to adopt more sustainable practices.
  • Doing my best in promoting environmentally friendly businesses and products.
  • Voting for candidates that will work towards protecting the environment.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Annalyse and Greyson,

See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to never use a plastic straw.
 

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.
 

People of tomorrow,

Your path will only be as clear tomorrow as we have made it for you today.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to educate myself and others about how we can protect and nourish our 1 PLANET
 

To my precious children,

As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.
 

To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.
 

To my Dad,

I hope on this Father’s Day, my 24th birthday, and the rest of days, we remember that the most basic part of life is living happy with the ones we love. Acting every day against climate change will allow us to keep that simple piece of humanity.
 

Dear Students,

I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to reach out to more people to ditch driving and consider using public transportation. I promise to convince Marin markets that sensible policies in density and mixed use planning will further enhance everyone’s quality of life.
 

To My Future Children,

Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.
 

I promise to take shorter showers.
