Remember the days of the coronavirus pandemic, which held people in their homes for at the least three weeks, and the skies cleared, emission levels lowered, car accidents plummeted, and families walked their dogs outside with their children. The days were simple, like the Earth had once known. It healed because we let it. It can heal again, if we let it.
Dear Future Grandchildren,
I hope I can look you in the eye and tell you I honestly did everything I could to protect our planet.
AMORI MIEI EMMA DOMINGA E MAMMA AURELIE
Mamma e Papà cercano insieme sempre di darti il meglio però anche tu dovrai fare la tua parte nel mondo.
Dear Tomorrow,
Don’t use plastic straws!
Dear Nova and Remi,
I wish for you both that another kind of life has been discovered, one of peace, moderation and concern for all life.
dear future children,
As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.
Dearest Finlay,
I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.
Dear Rowan & Tristan,
I promise to do everything I can as a daughter to our great Mother Earth to protect her wildlife and trees.
Dear Gabriel,
When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.
Dearest Gray,
When I asked you why the purple Violet called to you, you told me it was “magic”. I hope that you can still find the magic of life. I hope, despite everything, it is still in abundance.
Meus filhos,
Espero que vcs tb encontrem ,de alguma forma,um caminho para colaborarem com Nossa Mãe Terra, bjs eternos.
Dear Great Grandchildren,
If you are reading this, you probably inherited my fascination with ancestry, and the way it uncovers incredible stories of unlikely survival.
Dear me,
Remember how passionate you felt at 20, I hope you keep that passion in you and are still working on climate 30 years from now.
