Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.
Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate. While on vacation we helped the captain remove trash from the beach-everyone joined in. We donated at a local animal shelter. Taking extra time to give back to our world. I promise to always take some time, and promote my children to make a difference.
Dear my future loved ones,
I hope that humans can live harmoniously with the earth.
To My Fellow Two-Spirits,
Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.
Dear Children and Grandchildren,
I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.
Dear My Future Child,
I want to sculpt a world for you where you can play outside without gas masks, an ocean to swim in without toxins, and a thick lively forest for you to wander.
Dear Tomorrow,
Don’t use plastic straws!
Dear future niece or nephew,
We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to recycle and compost.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I’ll replace our lights with LED lights.
Dear Jeremy,
We had a lot in common obviously, and our concern for the planet we live on was one of the many things we bonded over.
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.
To my great-great grandchildren,
I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.
I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.
Dear Nieces and Nephews,
I tried.
