To my future family,

Today, we live in a world where money controls everything. While I do not expect this to ever change, it means that people exist, knowing what they are doing to our precious planet, and continue to destroy it for a profit. People exist who adamantly deny that we as a human race are affecting the changing climate. People refuse to see the harm we are doing and how we can change it for the better. However, there is an even greater amount of people who strive to do something about it. I, for one, do what I can to make a change. I live and work for the purpose of seeing our beautiful planet transformed back into its state of natural beauty and balance, unharmed by the human race. I want to see salmon swim free up and down spawning rivers, without dams preventing them from reproducing. I want to see the orcas of my beloved San Juan Islands return in massive populations as they existed in the past, with plenty of salmon to feast upon. I want our dying coral reefs to bloom once again into gardens of life, feeding the entire ecosystem of the world’s oceans. I want our rainforests grow back to their former glory.

I have chosen a path in life that puts these goals at the highest of priorities. I plan to help others strive for change. I plan to create a sense of awareness, and an appreciation for the beautiful gift of nature and its unparalleled beauty and grace. I hope to help create a better world for you to live in. I challenge myself to educate not only myself, but others on the importance of sustainability. I try to be the change I wish to see in the world. I desperately hope that future generations live in a world that isn’t on the edge of collapse. I hope you can walk through forests of trees and wildlife, and swim in oceans full of fish and other marine life.

Unfortunately, as life on this planet exists today, nature is disappearing. Forests are being cut down, fish are being taken from the sea faster than they can replenish their own populations. More and more wildlife are becoming endangered of extinction. Fossil fuels continue to burn daily, tainting the atmosphere that exists to protect us. Sharks continue to be hunted for no purpose other than to harvest their fins for soup, and thrown back into the ocean to die. Ocean temperatures continue to rise, killing off our beautiful coral reefs. Ice from the poles of the planet continue to melt, decimating once massive and seemingly endless glaciers and ice masses.

In conclusion, I hope for nothing more than a better and cleaner world for you. I hope that nature is given a chance to heal. I hope that humans give themselves the chance to fix our past mistakes. I hope you live in a better world than the one I live in now.

More Messages to the Future

 

dear future children,

As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.

 

To my sons,

I’m voting with climate change as a top priority. I’ve tried to teach you boys that we need to clean up after ourselves and take care of the earth. I promise to continue doing these actions and more, for your sake.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to go DEEP GREEN

 

Dear Alyssa,

I pray that more and more fathers will realize that to love their children well, they have to love and respect the ecological systems around them too.

 

Dear Valentina & Luis,

You both know I have made it my mission to get people to understand more about the state of our planet‘s climate and what was at stake.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to stop using a plastic straw.

 

My dear Honeys,

I think every parent believes that their child’s future is worth protecting – because I know the power of this force in me and what I am willing to do.

 

Dear ACS, LG, CM, MCD, AH, MS, AS, GL, and ERD,

I commit to demanding that politicians that want my vote, my time, my substantial help and expertise are people who seek to address climate change seriously and talk about it boldly.

 

Hi buddy,

I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.

 

Caro me stesso,

Non so dove e con chi sarò nel 2050, spero che sia un anno migliore di quello appena passato .

 

My dearest children Ameilia and Alivia, 

I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.

 

To the future generations,

I hope that you all can enjoy the Smokey Mountains in your lifetime too and that they look how they did back in 2017 when I saw them.
