To the future generations,

Existence is resistance. Education is resistance. However, we now live in a world where existing isn’t enough. We must fight for the things we believe in. As I write this, human existence trades the life of beings around them. We incite genocide of forests, animal species, and other human beings. This must stop. I hope by the time you read this, it has.

I promise you, future generations of the world, I will educate the ignorant so in your lifetime your survival does not equal the mass death of others. I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.

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.
 

I promise to help people! Become more aware!
