Dear Future Child,
I imagine that depending on your income level you will be significantly impacted by climate change. I hope it isn’t so bad as I anticipate. I think about climate change once in a while but it is something.
All my love,
Me
More Messages to the Future
To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,
Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII. I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
Dear Rowan and Anaka,
If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?
To My Dear Grandchildren,
Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.
Dear Spike, Loulou and Yoshua,
I’m going to start a campaign to try to convince everybody in the Netherlands to not eat meat one day a week.
Dear Ezmae,
As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to take my bike everywhere. Taking Golden Gate Transit to SF tonight.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to work with my family and neighbors to reduce carbon output.
To my Beloved Future Children,
Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.
Dear Tomorrow,
This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.
Dear Hailey and Lily,
We know about this. If we don’t fix this for you, it’s our fault.
Dear Tomorrow,
I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.
Dear Society,
If we work together to spread the awareness of what is occurring today, we will be able to prevent it from continuing into the tomorrow.
