This year we created more homemade gifts and try to encourage your creativity and resourcefulness. That is a quality that all of us need to encourage and practice because with so many of us on this planet, we know that we cannot sustain our present level of fossil fuel use.
We can learn new ways; let’s practice together!
Dear Maya, Emilio and Daniel,
We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.
To my child,
For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
To my future self,
It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
Dear Future Sami Lee,
Everyone currently in life laughs and yells save the bees. We were a bee this year for Halloween and Lucy even came up with a great slogan “get with it honey”.
Dear Potential Future Kiddo,
To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating. Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
Vitória,
Antes de realizar qualquer ação pense no meio ambiente para que suas atitudes sejam pautadas na sustentabilidade. Assim o seu pensar e agir localmente poderão resvalar na escala global.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit, use metal straws, take quick showers.
Dear Nephew,
I believe i have truly played my part in raising awareness and practical solutions to climate change.
Dear Finley,
I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
Dear next generation,
I hope that by the time you’re reading this, things have changed and people have started to protect the earth
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will encourage everyone to get OUT of their cars and onto public transit.
Dear Ya’Ash,
There are many paths to Truth, but regardless of your faith or ideology, one truth is above all else: Life must continue.
