Dear future self,

Today is May 2, 2022 and the earth is not is great shape. We are cutting down trees at alarming rates, our coral reefs are almost completely dead, and all the carbon expelled into the atmosphere is raising world temperatures drastically.

I wish we had done more before now. I wish we had done more to ensure a safe planet for your future and our own.

In order to help make this change I promise to be more aware of my waste everyday in an effort to limit the trash stuck in landfills for eternity. I will also promise to limit now much meat and overly processed foods I eat as the production of these foods are environmental hazards. There is so much to do and even though I am just one person, I will try my hardest to value and respect Mother Earth the planet because it is all we have.

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.
