To my family,

I watch the skies go from blue to grey, as my generation attempts to push back from the faults of what the species has done. I say species because all of us have contributed to the downfall of this planet. As the temperature gets hotter this planet gets more and more unpredictable. She finally said enough once more and I’m surviving a global pandemic. I think to myself is the disease killing us or saving her from us. I say that so selfishly because those with power are likely to survive and those who just are in the crossfire are those most affected.

Even amid this global crisis there’s hope, as people are seen less, the earth partly recovers. I can see hope for when you read this that I will try to neutralize my carbon footprint so whatever harm I omit I can balance it with the good. I start with the products I put into my body to not use any plastic water bottles, start to compost once again, and start growing food in my garden once I am back in my childhood home. Hopefully, the garden is still there for you to see my efforts.

With Love,

J

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.

 

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.

 

Our Promise
