I will continue to learn, improve, grow, and even fight to ensure the world is just as beautiful when you’re 80 as it was the day you were born. In fact, I hope it’s even more beautiful. You deserve a beautiful world in your lifetime. I love you. Always. Mom.
We will look back on our time here and ask, “What did I do?”
If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.
Dear Future Self,
It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
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 Jackson,
I feel deeply that it is my moral obligation as your Mom to protect your future and allow you to inherit a clean and healthy planet.
Dear Kai and Leah,
I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.
Dear grandkids,
I believe this fusion of ecology and economy backed by the digital technology is our great achievement.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will eat vegan, organic, locally grown, and seasonal.
Filha,
Saiba que enquanto eu tiver vida, minha voz não calará para alertar o mal que estamos fazendo agora para as nossas gerações futuras…
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to educate myself and others about how we can protect and nourish our 1 PLANET
Dear Abigail and Olivia,
What stories will you tell them about our generation? Will we be heroes or villains?
Dear Daughter,
Tonight at bedtime, you asked, seemingly out of nowhere, “why are the glaciers disappearing?”
Dear Tomorrow,
Less meat, more on my feet!
