Dear Future Self,

We are in the year of 2020 and unfortunately the world has gone through many hardships. To start off, we’ve been experiencing the pandemic of COVID-19. There has also been many extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and fires. The situations that we are currently living in has caused a lot of stress and has impacted many people’s lives globally. It seems that climate change hasn’t gotten any better and may potentially get worse by the year of 2050. This appears to be happening because people in power don’t seem to understand and deny that climate change isn’t real. This has influenced many people in our society to think the same way. Instead of trying to create positive changes for our climate, people prefer to annoy it. This is heartbreaking and I really hope that by 2050, real change is made. I hope people in power are willing to understand that climate change is real and come up with plans to decrease the effect of it. I also hope that people in our society contributes as well. I’d like for our next generations to live a better life.

To my Dad,

I hope on this Father’s Day, my 24th birthday, and the rest of days, we remember that the most basic part of life is living happy with the ones we love. Acting every day against climate change will allow us to keep that simple piece of humanity.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to switch from “light” to “deep” green.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to become more educated on the global issues that face populations I can’t see

To my sons,

I’m voting with climate change as a top priority. I’ve tried to teach you boys that we need to clean up after ourselves and take care of the earth. I promise to continue doing these actions and more, for your sake.

Dear Kids of the Future,

My wish for all of you is that the people of the present wake up and are able to change their habits.

The gift for next generation,

To save the big world, perhaps, we should change the mind from myself to my small family to my community.

Dear tomorrow,

The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.

Dear Tomorrow,

The only way to survive it, even if you don’t feel like you’re winning, is to keep your hands on the rope.

Aos meus sobrinhos queridos, Ana Laura, Luis Carlos e Helloísa,

Talvez eu não esteja viva para ver alguma mudança, mas espero que vocês vejam e tenham um mundo melhor em 2050. Plantei um ipê rosa e outro amarelo, que eles estejam florindo até 2050.

To my great-great grandchildren,

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.

Querido amanhã,

Em fim, espero que você receba essa mensagem, e entenda o quão pequenos nos somos e como é importante preservar o planeta terra.

To my children,

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.
