Please please please be involved in at least something related to climate change. I know you don’t really think it’s that important now, but at the rate at which its becoming a problem, in the near future it will be very important. If you aren’t in anything now, I highly suggest you involve yourself now that you’ve read this. Thanks for reading future me.
Dear Evan,
What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.” Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use my reusable water bottle more often
Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,
To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.
My Mini & Lou,
Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
To our future generations,
I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to ride a bike and take a smart train.
To my wide-eyed warrioresses,
Since my two daughters emerged into this world, all of my tomorrows have become more dear.
Dear Future,
I hope that things have cooled down. I hope that people and governments have come together to save our earth. I hope that everyone is able to breath clean air, drink clean water and see the beauty in nature that I do. I promise to do my best to take part in repairing the damage we’ve done so that my hopes may come true.
Dear Tomorrow-My letter to the future 2030
I am most sorry we could not work through our differences, and see through the greed, get organized, and do more so that you could have a better life in your 2030 future.
Our Promise
I will turn my gas transmission into an electric car!
Dear Tomorrow,
I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.
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.
