Dear Nova and Remi,

I am doing my best and will continue to do my best to not participate in the free enterprise system of economics. I do this because I have found that it is the concept of economic growth that has been the main driver to all our trouble with climate change and other environmental issues that are very dangerous to your future. I wish for you both that another kind of life has been discovered, one of peace, moderation and concern for all life. I pledge that I will not seek to be rich, or seek to have possessions that do not have anything to do with sustaining fundamental life. I will seek instead to find my joy in the beauty of our good Earth. Peace and love to you both.

Danny

More Messages to the Future

To my grandchildren’s children,

I became an activist to be part of a force to save the natural world and go 100% clean energy.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to go DEEP GREEN

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to stop eating beef.

Dear future generations,

It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.

Dear Tomorrow,

I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to purchase carbon offsets when we fly.

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.

Dear Children,

I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.

Dear Tomorrow,

I will opt up to deep green

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 grandchild,

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to work with my family and neighbors to reduce carbon output.
