Dear liz,

Hello! this is the you from 2019, spare me the details about your personal life because then we’ll have a VERY long letter. I made a silent promise liz, i’m going to help preserve the enviroment. Its a serious matter that i want to be responsible for, climate changes are real and they are hapening so quickly that maybe by 2050 you are already feeling the effects. I want to dedicate my life for our planet liz, i am going to help reverse this situation. I promise i will ensure your safety and the safety of your children. I have something i need to do in this planet, i know i do, everybody does actually, its screaming my name but i just cant find it yet. Ill find it, ill find that “something” to do, and, above all, i will do my best to make sure global warming, rainforest burn, illegal hunting, advanced agroculture, fossil fuel funding, among others, decrease in a level that the earth and human kind can keep on surviving. ( i am sorry for my badish english and i hope you are healthy and living in a stable enviroment) I love you Liz, i really want to write about soo many things but this is the most important of them all. I want you to be safe and healthy and im going to make it happen!

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.

To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,

Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII. I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
