Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.

To My Dear Grandchildren,

I am incredibly happy that Nana and I can occasionally facetime, zoom, or chat with you to learn how you are doing and just catch up. The pandemic we are currently experiencing here in 2020 is something I have never experienced in my lifetime. While it can be scary and uncertain, I am confident that if we follow the recommendations of health professionals, eventually, we will find our way back to a more normal time – so that we can visit in person and share hugs again.

Even while we are physically apart, I want all of you to know that I am continuing to work to make our planet a safer and healthier place for you and your generation. As a volunteer with Citizens Climate Lobby, I raise awareness about climate issues, communicate and lobby our Members of Congress, and oppose efforts to ignore climate science. Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.

Love Always,
Papa

Dearest Gray,

When I asked you why the purple Violet called to you, you told me it was “magic”. I hope that you can still find the magic of life. I hope, despite everything, it is still in abundance.
 

Dear fantastic,

We as the human race are smarter than this struggle at hand and need to rise above large corporate interests and confusion on this topic.
 

Dear future love,

A culture of consumption is the reason that my world faces such an ecological crisis, it is both necessary and proper to address the fundamental mindsets that have created such a destructive culture.

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
 

Dear Gabriel,

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.
 

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.
 

We will look back on our time here and ask, “What did I do?”

If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.
