To my daughter,

We learned about it and knew. Yet production still grew.

The Amazon, the Virunga, they were of the few left with some of the oldest living species on earth. But right now there’s not much I can do.

Their trees come down and with it any bit of human dignity. It is not the fault of the people that do it, but the system which forces them to.

Society has created a way of life which is based off unlimited wants and limited resources, with some getting all that they want at the cost of others never getting what they need. Because of human greed.

But happiness can only be found in other people, not the oil fields or mining mountains. Remember that what makes the world beautiful is not what can be made but who can make it better.

More Messages to the Future

 

To earth & its inhabitants,

Its been heavy on my shoulders since I found out about the state of climate woes as a child.
 

Dear child,

The journey of humanity does not take us to Mars like the world now likes to believe. It takes us home to our true self where there is no separate self. Where we are all one. You know all this. Look after yourself my child, look after your brother, your friends, your children, all the animals and the whole planet. Love them like there is no tomorrow.
 

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.
 

My grandchildren,

I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use a water bottle.
 

To my future self,

It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
 

To Annika, Anders, Stella, Eva, and Mickey,

In writing to you, I realize that I don’t want you to be hard on yourself if you choose to not make this your cause. But it is mine, so I hope that you hold me accountable to some of what I wrote here.
 

To my Maria and her children,

I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying.
 

Dear Son,

I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.
 

To my precious children

I want clean air, clean energy and muddy feet for you. I want this for all children.
 

Dear Finn and Cy,

I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

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