Dear Earth,

I really don’t understand why some people disregard you and your system. I don’t understand why people don’t care about extreme climate events and temperatures when they are knocking our door every day and every second. I ask myself: can’t they see the risk we’re willing to take and the time we’re losing to save the world? I can’t understand why they refuse to use clean energy, when it is good for us and for you, when its benefits are welcome for the whole world! Why? Why so much arrogance and opposition to what is the right way to go? Why delay in acting? It’s like we want to suffer, to prove it deeply, just to see where we’ll arrive in this old way! Well, I just hope someday everyone will wake up before it’s too late. Oh, I forgot. We are already late! My dream is to wake up someday and see a world that is taking care of nature and is being run on clean energy. Is it possible Earth? Is it an illusion? I hope not. Take care.

To my future self,

It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.

Dear Maya,

Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.

Dear Future Afnan,

You should make a time machine and come back to past and solve all the problems.

To my future children,

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.

To my great-great grandchildren,

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.

Dear Finley,

I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?

Dear humankind of today and tomorrow,

I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to stop using a plastic straw.

Rachel and Noelle,

I hope in a small way this helps your world.

To my Children,

As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.

Dear future child,

We’re presenting at conferences, writing articles, and organizing events with the goal of mobilizing our profession to act on climate, and to help them understand that it will deeply impact our mission to preserve history for future generations.

Dear Tomorrow,

We want to let others know about how to fight climate crisis.
