To my future self,

It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world. By 2019, you will be eating at least a 90% plant based diet. You will have reduced you carbon footprint as much as possible and payed for the rest with a voluntary carbon tax. Hopefully the efforts of individuals, the pursuers of a better tomorrow, working together, will have fixed the world. If not, don’t give up, never give up. It is your duty as a citizen of planet Earth and possibly the planet Mars to respect the land you live upon. This is my message to you, my 49 year old self, and any who wish to listen.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to use a refillable bottle, bring my own resusable spoon/form wherever I go, use clean personal care products (without chemicals).

 

Dear Students,

I imagine at this point we have dropped our addiction to coal, gas, and oil and that our environment has made a turn for the better with the solar, wind, and other unimagined (at this point) alternative energy choices are in place.

 

Para minha querida filha, Vitória,

Consegue compreender que estamos aqui de passagem e que temos por obrigação apenas tomar emprestado, evitado excessos e principalmente agradecer.

 

Dear Lila

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

 

Dear Earth,

I will keep the air clean so everyone can see the sunset.

 

Dear Amara and Uma,

Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.

 

Dear Future Afnan,

You should make a time machine and come back to past and solve all the problems.

 

Dear Sadie,

You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.

 

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.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will convince my family to switch their gas appliances to electric.

 

Dear Evie of 2050,

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

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to never use a plastic straw.
