To the youngsters of 22nd Century,

Hello guys! How are you guys doing? I hope you’re doing well. How’s the world right now? I hope it’s normal. If not, then on behalf of the 21st century generation, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you couldn’t live a normal life. I’m sorry that the world is suffering from us. I’m sorry that you had to experience extreme natural devastation caused by the selfish elders of our generation. My comrades and I have been trying our best to reduce carbon footprints and use more environment-friendly alternatives. But it seems that all our efforts were in vain. Once again, if the world is in better shape, it would seem that our efforts didn’t go to waste at all.

More Messages to the Future

 

To my dearest Gabriel,

What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.
 

My dearest children Ameilia and Alivia, 

I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

Don’t use plastic straws!
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I will work to restore the wetlands.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to reach out to more people to ditch driving and consider using public transportation. I promise to convince Marin markets that sensible policies in density and mixed use planning will further enhance everyone’s quality of life.
 

Dear Maya, Emilio and Daniel,

We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.
 

My darling girls,

I can be brave enough to wake up.
 

Dear Future Explorers,

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
 

Dear Luna,

I will never give up on you, on humanity, on the future.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise: community awareness of the climate crisis.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to take my bike everywhere. Taking Golden Gate Transit to SF tonight.
 

Dear Rosie,

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.
