To my family, friends, and generations to come,

We as a species have managed to transform the world in unimaginable ways, and it’s not all good. For the sake of the Earth and all of its inhabitants, we need to preserve the biodiversity and natural wonders, beauties, and landscapes it has to offer. I promise to do my best to ensure that future generations won’t have to fight to be able to care for the Earth. I promise to do everything in my power to promote a culture of wellbeing and environmental nourishment, so that forests, glaciers, and undersea environments; lions, and tigers and polar bears (oh my!) will not be confined to fairy tales and history books.

More Messages to the Future

 

To My Children,

Is the world really polluted?

 

Dear future child,

We’re presenting at conferences, writing articles, and organizing events with the goal of mobilizing our profession to act on climate, and to help them understand that it will deeply impact our mission to preserve history for future generations.

 

Dear Leo,

Last week I took you to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.

 

Dear Future,

“I knew you would want to know how the future turned out. You got so anxious about climate change as we grew older.  By coming back, I thought I could help you with that.”

 

Dear Kids,

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.

 

Dear World,

The environment is important – take care of your actions to not destroy it starting from now.

 

Dear Nieces, Nephews, & Future Children…

If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

 

Dear future niece or nephew,

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.

 

Cari nipoti,

Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.

 

Dear humankind of today and tomorrow,

I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.

 

To my daughter,

The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.

 

Dear Matthew, Sam, and Sophie,

There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.
