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

 

Dear Abigail and Olivia,

What stories will you tell them about our generation? Will we be heroes or villains?
 

Querido amanhã,

Em fim, espero que você receba essa mensagem, e entenda o quão pequenos nos somos e como é importante preservar o planeta terra.
 

Dear Nephew,

I believe i have truly played my part in raising awareness and practical solutions to climate change.
 

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.
 

To my daughter and son,

Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
 

To the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
 

Dear Annalyse and Greyson,

See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to reduce electricity at home. I will turn off the TV and lights when I’m not in the room.
 

Dear residents of Bedminster, Bristol UK,

We hope we did enough
 

Dear Nafia,

I also hope that your previous prayers have been answered. The way you wanted to create green jobs for your fellow city dwellers have been fulfilled already.
 

Dear June and Colin,

I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.
 

Dear Future Me,

I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.
