Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to ride more and drive less.
To the Future Generations,
I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
Dear Nieces and Nephews,
I tried.
To my child,
For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
Dear Ellie,
My heart is an ocean of love for all the children facing a life of climate catastrophe.
Dear Kaydence,
I will keep trying Kaydence, I promise. And I hope we can look back together in 2050 and smile, knowing that our Earth is healthy once again.
Dear Future,
“I knew you would want to know how the future turned out. You got so anxious about climate change as we grew older. By coming back, I thought I could help you with that.”
To My Future Self,
This lead me to my final project, which focused on reforming the education system to incorporate sustainability classes into the current curriculum.
Dear Eleanor,
You are so small. So innocent. So beautiful. For you and for everyone else, I will try harder.
Dear Rowan and Anaka,
If we could talk, I would not be able to bear your gaze as you ask: How could you, the people in a position to change the course of climate change, fail to act?
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 Tomorrow
Colin
