I want you to know that I tried. I know you are facing the repercussions from my generations and more prominently the generations before me, but I want you to know I am dedicating my career to fixing these issues. Sometimes, you just can’t get enough people to rally around the invisible present.
Dear Daughter,
Tonight at bedtime, you asked, seemingly out of nowhere, “why are the glaciers disappearing?”
Dear future family and friends,
This is our house.
Dear Future Grandchildren,
I hope I can look you in the eye and tell you I honestly did everything I could to protect our planet.
To earth & its inhabitants,
Its been heavy on my shoulders since I found out about the state of climate woes as a child.
Dear future me,
I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.
Dear Tomorrow
I hope that environmental issues are a thing of the past.
Dear Birds,
will continue championing land preservation and the restoration of woodland, prairie and wetland habitats. I will not stop advocating for “bird friendly” legislation to make cities safer for your passage.
Dear Tomorrow,
The transformation of human consciousness
Dear Tomorrow,
Don’t use plastic straws!
To My Future Self,
This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.
Dear kids of America,
Please eliminate plastic everything
Dear Future Today,
Here in California we’re starting to recognize our climate changing the natural world around us.
