Dear Mitch JR,

Dear Mitch JR, you are my son and I love you. We are already seeing the cataclysmic effects of global climate change and sadly it is going to get worse. Worse to a point I hope this note reaches you. It is common for every current generation to throw blame on the past generation, and I hope mine is the one that takes initiative. I promise I will take action and make a difference so you can live a healthy life with an abundance of resources and a stable climate. I will push for renewable energy sources, the whole world can get on board. Many nations in Europe are taking huge strides in renewables and seeing these wind farms in the French countryside first hand is inspiring to say the least. We need to take a step back, view our anthropogenic impacts. I think we need to restructure how we are growing food, move towards renewables and start more extensive conservation work. Scientists need to be valued and we can no longer have partisan views on this issue. I have faith somehow in this generation and we can make change.

Dear James,

More importantly, what are we doing to better our planet and everyone who lives in it?

 

To our sweet grandson Caleb,

We want a safe and beautiful world for you, little Caleb, and for your children and grandchildren. We promise to do our part.

 

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 children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.

 

Annalu minha filha amada,

Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.

 

dear future people (:

I am writing this message to you guys. When I look outside my window today, I see a beautiful world that others and myself call “home sweet home.” The trees glimmering in warm sunlight, the air stirring a cool breeze, and the water flowing down rivers are parts of our home Mother Earth.

 

dear future children,

As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

No plastic straws, no water bottles, shop local, no meat.

 

Dear AC,

I think a lot about where the right place to live is.

 

Dear Future Me,

I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.

 

Anya,

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

 

Dear Peyton and Lucas,

I want you to continue to enjoy bright, beautiful, blue skies, gigantic shady trees, chirping birds, scampering squirrels, sparkling creeks and all that this amazing world has to offer!
