To My Future Self,

I think that climate change is a prevalent issue. Right now it is overlooked and ignored by lawmakers and everyday people. They assume it is not going to affect us, even though it already has. We have longer winters and hotter summers, and there are more hurricanes and wildfires than ever before. I promise to take bold climate action today to ensure that the future has a better world where climate change isn’t as such an issue. I will be more conscious of my actions, and what effects they have. I will try to be less wasteful and be aware of what impact I have on the Earth.

 

from,

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear 2050,

Our planet is crazy. I pledge to be an innovator to make sustainable living real.
 

Dear Finley,

I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
 

Dear Evan,

We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
 

Dear Thomas,

When you look at me with those big beautiful eyes and that innocent smile, you make me want to fight harder. And I do.
 

Queridas crianças do mundo inteiro,

Pedimos que vocês procurem fazer como nós e continuem essa luta de colaborar com nosso planeta: evitando o consumo exagerado, usando a tecnologia para o bem, plantando árvores, economizando água e poluindo menos.
 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.
 

To my Children,

As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.
 

To my future children,

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 next generation,

I hope that by the time you’re reading this, things have changed and people have started to protect the earth
 

Dear Tom and Leena,

I want you to only see the beauty in this world; there is so much of it and I will protect this beauty for as long as I am here on this Earth.
 

Dear Kai and Leah,

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.
 

Dear Evie of 2050,

I can feel the change happening — many people are working to transform the world.
