To anyone who stumbles upon this,

hello,

My name is Noelle and I am currently a third-year college student at SJSU in the year 2020. I hope that college is free or abolished by the time you are reading this, but I have no preference for which outcome presents itself. I am saddened by the current state of our world and I truly hope you have gotten to see blue skies and clean oceans. The coral reefs are almost completely gone, which saddens me. I hope there are political leaders who are fighting for the preservation of our forests and landmarks, and if they aren’t, I encourage you to still do your part in saving the world. Your voice matters and voting for politicians who will make a positive change for our environment matters. I am going to use my voice and my vote to ensure the safety and preservation of our ecosystems, and I encourage you to do the same. We are going on a steep downhill decline in terms of the well-being of what used to be such a wide variety of species on Earth. I hope to make this world safer and better for you, and i hope you are still working to save the planet!

Best wishes,

Noelle

I commit to demanding that politicians that want my vote, my time, my substantial help and expertise are people who seek to address climate change seriously and talk about it boldly.

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 Grandchild,

I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.

Queridas crianças do mundo inteiro,

Pedimos que vocês procurem fazer como nós e continuem essa luta de colaborar com nosso planeta: evitando o consumo exagerado, usando a tecnologia para o bem, plantando árvores, economizando água e poluindo menos.

To my children,

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.

I want to tell you a story. Yes, another one.

Mankind has always been able to deal with the greatest challenges it’s faced and this will not be the exception. My message to you is: find that passion and give it your all. ‘Till your legs give out.

Dear Future Sami Lee,

Everyone currently in life laughs and yells save the bees. We were a bee this year for Halloween and Lucy even came up with a great slogan “get with it honey”.

Dear humankind of today and tomorrow,

I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.

Muita Coragem e força para você enfrentar todos os desafios que virão, pois são com eles que crescemos.

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.

To My Dear Grandchildren,

Be assured that in the upcoming election, I will cast my vote for your future – for elected officials that recognize climate risks and are willing to promote and vote for legislation that will stop environmental damage and begin to heal our planet.
