My dear unborn child,

Climate change is a big topic. You are confronted with it in every situation in life because there were so many things that we did wrong. But not only my generation. Also, the generation before mine. Climate change is real. I know that some people refuse to believe that climate change is real. I think we should do more to stop it and we should talk more about it. In school, at home with the family with your friends, in politics… We all have to know what every single person can take action to stop climate change or to reduce it. If each of us makes his or her contribution, maybe you too will see polar bears and beautiful nature. I hope that I can teach you to deal with these problems, also with such big ones as climate change. I hope I can teach you what is important in life and the future of our planet. I also hope that my generation has done the best thing for solving this big problem. I hope that you and your whole generation will be proud of your parents and that we leave you a world in which you can live without having to worry more than we do. I hope you can live your life and not have to worry about your life.

In love, your mom

Dear Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating. Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?

Dear Son,

I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.
