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 children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

Hi, it’s mum here. I know you know that I care about the planet. You see me talking about it, going to protests (and taking you with me!), trying my best to not create waste. But it is 2021, and you are just kids: 6, 9 and 11 years old. I feel so worried about what you will grow up to experience.

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.

I promise that I will continue to keep pushing, and trying my best to bring others along with me. I hope by now you are living in a safe and healthy world, with clean air and water, and that you have felt confident enough about the future that you have had your own kids.

I love you so much,

Mum xx

To all the people here on earth,

Who knows what the future would look like? or what will happened in the future? No one knows right? That’s why it it’s scary because we don’t know what lies ahead. We couldn’t stop the future but we can always change it.

 

I promise to take shorter showers.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to drive less and walk more.

 

Dear… Parents,

Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.

 

Dear Isaiah,

I am grateful for your soul, for your creativity, for your empathy. All these are precious treasures that you have to offer the world. They will help. I thank you for being in this world right now, so that you can offer these gifts at a time of transition.

 

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 Tomorrow,

I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.

 

To my children,

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.

 

Olá Pessoal,

Com essas ideias simples e força de vontade, podemos tornar um mundo, um lugar melhor para se viver, com menos mortes, menos lixo, transforma-lo em um mundo diferente.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will use less fossil fuels.
