Dear future child,

I want this beautiful Earth to still be here when you are older. I want you to be able to enjoy it like I have.

Climate change is happening as I write this to you now. It’s been happening, we see its affects everywhere, yet some people chose not to believe in science. We need positive change, we need it now, before it’s too late.

When you turn 16 and can explore the world on your own, I want you to do just so. I want you to visit every forest, every lake, every ocean you can. We live in a beautiful place, even if it’s hidden by factories and landfills.

I promise, I am doing everything I can to give you this opportunity in your future. There is still hope for our planet.

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.
