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?

To the Future Generations,

Sorry doesn’t even come close to the words needed to describe how apologetic I am to my future generations. I was a part of the mass global destruction of our environment, ecosystem, and future. I am now committed to doing anything possible to save your Earth.

The collective people of the world are battling with world leaders to take action on our behalf and for the sake of Earth. What will they do with their profits when they are washed away in the flood?

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? Will they ever hear a bird sing or know what snow is? I pour love onto my family. They need to know we are trying. Some of us fighting very hard to combat corruption and greed. Let’s hope the resolution comes quickly before it is too late.

I love you all with my entire heart and soul. Be strong. Be brave. Be compassionate.

Jason

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Leo,

Last week I took you to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.
 

To My Grandchildren,

It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures.  These are the confessions of a climate activist:
 

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 Tomorrow,

I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.
 

I won’t leave my lights on.
 

Dearest Finlay,

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.
 

Dear Peyton and Lucas,

I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!
 

Dear Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
 

Aos meus sobrinhos queridos, Ana Laura, Luis Carlos e Helloísa,

Talvez eu não esteja viva para ver alguma mudança, mas espero que vocês vejam e tenham um mundo melhor em 2050. Plantei um ipê rosa e outro amarelo, que eles estejam florindo até 2050.
 

To my daughter and her children,

As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.
 

Querida Alê,

Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.
 

Dear Tanuj,

The time has come to question ourselves as citizens about our own actions and the legacy we are leaving behind.
