To My Grandchildren,
More Messages to the Future
Dear Grandchild,
I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.
Dear future loved ones,
As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.
Dear Tomorrow,
The road I learned to ride my bike on, the field where I kicked my first soccer ball, and the park I ate my first ice cream cone at, could all be gone.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
Dear Future Self,
More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
Rachel and Noelle,
I hope in a small way this helps your world.
Dear Tomorrow,
No plastic straws, no water bottles, shop local, no meat.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.
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.
Dear June and Colin,
I’m sad and angry that collectively more has not been done to this date. And that still with such dire warnings, obvious impacts, those in power are acting far too slowly.
Dear Tomorrow
I promise to encourage myself and others to recycle more.
Oi Luc,
Estou esperando ansiosa sua chegada pra que a gente possa fazer muitas coisas boas juntos, uma delas, é cuidar bem do nosso planeta.
