Dear Future Children & Grandchildren,

The world now, in 2016, is facing this huge problem of climate change. I hope you have only read of this term in history/geography book of the past. Ice caps melting in the Arctic, deforestation in Indonesia, and flooding in coastal areas are the result of global warming. I really want to make a change in the world and fight for the use of consumption of no fossil fuels and using clean energy instead. First, to make a change in my daily life and in the bigger picture, to encourage the people around me and ultimately the world to contribute to fight for the elimination of global warming. To save Mother Earth and you, the future generations of this beautiful planet.

Love,
Claire Goh

For my children,

If we haven’t done enough and the world you’re living on is apocalyptic or if you’re living on another planet then I’m deeply sorry and just know that I believe in you and I know that you are both strong and smart enough to handle anything.

I promise to plant trees and to turn off the lights.

Dear Tanuj,

The time has come to question ourselves as citizens about our own actions and the legacy we are leaving behind.

Dear Kaydence,

I will keep trying Kaydence, I promise. And I hope we can look back together in 2050 and smile, knowing that our Earth is healthy once again.

Dear Brady,

I will work everyday to combat climate change for your today, for your tomorrow!

Dear Tomorrow,

Less meat, more on my feet!

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to reduce electricity at home. I will turn off the TV and lights when I’m not in the room.

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.

Hey kiddo,

I’ll be here to tell you all the ways I have fought for the health of our home, and fought to protect all of the wide, open spaces for you to run in. When you’re old enough, we can fight together.

Dear tomorrow,

If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.

To you, my dear!

In 2050, I will still be fighting against climate change. I feel that it’s not only my duty, but rather my destiny.

Dear Sadie,

You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.
