More Messages to the Future
To the wonderful children of our family – Elayna, Julianna, and James –
There is no issue more important to your future and your friends’ future than stemming climate change.
Dear Future Self,
It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
Dear Tomorrow,
Less meat, more on my feet!
Dear Finn and Cy,
I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.

Querida Alê,
Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.
Dear AC,

dear tomorrow,

Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to go to the farmer’s market more
Dear Tara,
I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.
Dear Leo,
Last week I took you to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.
To my wide-eyed warrioresses,
Since my two daughters emerged into this world, all of my tomorrows have become more dear.
