Dear future child,

Hey love,

By the time you read this, I hope and pray that the world has gotten better. Hopefully the air is better now for you. The climate has been getting worse right now in 2018, but I promise you that I will do my best in my part to slow down the changes and reduce my usage of things that will contribute to CO2 emissions and such. I hope to get others to follow in that footstep so that you and your generation can live a better and healthier life. At the speed we are going at now, it does not look too good, but my hope and dream is to change that and create a better living space here for you. There are so many disasters happening around the world and one thing that is happening around where mom lives is wildfires. These wildfires destroyed a lot of homes and took lives of people. Wildfires are natural and normal but because of the warming planet these fires are getting bigger and out of control. They make the air really bad to breathe in for everyone including your grandma, aunts and uncles and your mom. Other disasters happen all over the world. We want to prevent or at least try to help the planet get back to being healthy so you can be healthy too.

Love,
Momma

Dear Future Self,

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

Dear Grandchildren,

I hope we can pass on a better place to live so that my grandchildren and their future children can enjoy the beauty of nature that our wonderful God has given us.

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.

Dear Future,

I hope that things have cooled down. I hope that people and governments have come together to save our earth. I hope that everyone is able to breath clean air, drink clean water and see the beauty in nature that I do. I promise to do my best to take part in repairing the damage we’ve done so that my hopes may come true.

Dear Gabriel,

One day ten or twenty years from now, when you look back from the future, you will be able to clearly see the entire path.
