Be the generation that actually changes the world. So that YOUR children would have the joy of growing up on this paradise of a planet…
Take Earth as your mother; respect, protect and love her. Make Earth feel like your daughter; defend, protect and provide for her. Because the Earth – this our Earth – belongs to each one of us, as much as we each belong to her.
Aabo oro laaso fun omoluabi!
I pledge to take the bus.
Dear Madeline, Ava, and Harper,
What I wish most for you girls is that the care you have shown each other would extend to the big wide world around you.
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.
Dear Tara,
Each of us only has so much power and the problem is HUGE, but I worked at this every day.
My dear granddaughter Christy,
My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.
Dear Sinchi,
The world is changing and it is happening fast.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will do my part to help ensure that there is an Earth left when we are done borrowing it.
To the Future Generations,
I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?
Dear You Tomorrow,
What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.
Dear Children and Grandchildren,
I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.
To the generation after mine,
But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
Dear Kids of the Future,
My wish for all of you is that the people of the present wake up and are able to change their habits.
