I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying.

To my Maria and her children,

Hello, my darling. If you are reading this letter, I suppose, it’s too late. It’s too late right now, in 2017. Unfortunately, some scientists are paid to tell there is no global warming. However, you still have to remember that you are the member of global family and you are personally responsible for the future. I hope it’s the time people finally have realised the weight of “green” lifestyle.

I have to tell you something: it is so hard to keep our life “green” for now, but we still keep trying. We have no money to invest into renewable energy, we don’t even have enough money for food. Although, it is not a reason to stop. We still keep gardening. We grow onion, greens, cabbage, watermelons and pumpkins every year. We use baking soda in cleaning up the house. We make the carpets from the plastic bags and so on and on…

You have to keep in your mind the idea that you have millions of chances to save the planet. And you are a member of society. Even if you are not a leader for all of humanity, you are still part of your family, and you have to serve as an example: grow trees, recycle, live environmentally friendly!

You are not able to change the world, but you can change yourself. Keep on trying, you’re not alone. I am watching you!

More Messages to the Future

 

Queridos nietas/nietos,

Creo que debo hacer más. Por ello, he decidido escribir esta breve carta para empezar un proceso en el que vaya escribiendo más cartas, conforme vaya teniendo más claridad de mis posibles contribuciones.

 

Dear Future Me: Only open after March 4th, 2050

I don’t regret my past ventures, nor do I believe I will regret my future ventures, but I’ve learned that I’ve needed to manifest these experiences into actions of sustainable development and conservation and protection of our environment.

 

Dear my future loved ones,

I hope that humans can live harmoniously with the earth.

 

To My Dear Children, Jackson Carlo and Stella Jane,

I am a better person because of you, and I want the world to be a better place for you.

 

To My Dear Grandchildren,

Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

The only way to survive it, even if you don’t feel like you’re winning, is to keep your hands on the rope.

 

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.

 

Dear Devon and Chloe

I hope that my work helping to make your schools more sustainable will be something you carry on as you grow older.

 

Annalu minha filha amada,

Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.

 

Hello spawn,

I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you.

 

Dear Evie of 2050,

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

 

Dear Maya,

Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.
