To my future Family,

It has become increasingly apparent now that the world in which we live has become tired and unable to sustain the demands and needs of humanity. In my lifetime I have come to understand that the concept of pillaging and misusing of valuable natural resources has been normalized. The governments which lead our world today have decided to turn their back on the generation of tomorrow, their policies and actions have demonstrated their indifference to climate change. However, I wanted you to know I’m trying my best to do my part, to become an active promoter of our planet’s health. I wanted to pledge a promise to you, and that is that I will from this day forward, attempt to live a lifestyle that is cognizant of the health of our planet.  And that I will in my own way make as many individuals liable for their contributions to our planets health, whether good or bad. With a lot of hope, I wish that our world is saved and continuously nurtured in your lifetime. And that by  the time that  you reach my age you are able to enjoy this earth in the ways that I did.

-KEVIN GAYTAN

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear grandchild,

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
 

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 Luna,

I will never give up on you, on humanity, on the future.
 

Dear Daughter,

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.
 

Dear Jackson,

I feel deeply that it is my moral obligation as your Mom to protect your future and allow you to inherit a clean and healthy planet.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I’ll buy only food that I plan to eat before it spoils.
 

To My Future Children,

I hope by 2050, our society has taken initiative to be producing energy solely through renewable sources.
 

Dear my future child,

I promise you, I am going to do everything I can to save this planet for you. I won’t let you down, I swear.
 

My dearest Paloma Bear,

I want the very best for you and for generations to come. There is only one planet earth. Your mommy and I will make a genuine effort to make an impact to protect it for you.
 

Dear future generations,

I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.

 

Future Self & Ka’iulani,

We promise to reduce the amount of carbon we use on a daily basis.
 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
