Dear future generations,

I’m writing this in 2021 and as you know lots of stuff has happened. Thinking about all of the things I have learned this year about the future, I have been worrying about not getting to live out my full life. In our class we have learned about how in 2050 we will run out of food and I will only be 43 at that point.

I hope that I will grow old and have everything I have ever wanted. I hope that every person gets that wish. I don’t want to have my family go hungry due to the land being destroyed. I don’t want to have no water because all of the fresh water has run out. I don’t want to have to all move to the moon because of the large scary effects of climate change and global warming.

I want everyone to be happy and healthy.

I promise that I will do my part to reduce my carbon footprint wether that’s just by carpooling more, or using less electricity, I want to grow up in a better world and I want the future generations to grow up in a better world.
I promise that I will encourage others to do the same.

Climate change is something that not everyone believes in, but effects everyone. I don’t want the future generations to live life without all of the things the other generations were blessed with.

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.” Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
