I and others hear your cry for URGENCY TODAY as tomorrow will be too late for you to do what adults today are largely failing to do.
OHIAS believes we are all obligated to do all we can today to assure our children a future no more unhealthy or unjust than today.
Dear Soren,
In this world that is changing before our eyes, I believe that is our task: standing unflinchingly on the side of love, connecting with others, and forging ahead together.
Dear tomorrow,
Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences.
I promise to take shorter showers.
Minhas lindas,
As causas das mudanças no clima são tão profundas e envolvem tanta gente e tantos lugares.
For my most dear and only daughter,
And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through.
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 Anabelle and Bruce,
My desire is for clean air, clean water, rich soil, and healthy nutritious food for you and all children always everywhere.
Dear Me of 2050,
I promise that I will plant more trees in places where there are none.
Dear Future Explorers,
I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
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.
Filha,
Saiba que enquanto eu tiver vida, minha voz não calará para alertar o mal que estamos fazendo agora para as nossas gerações futuras…
Dear Eleanor,
It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
