To future generations all over the world I hope you fix the mistakes of previous generations. If you are reading this after 135 months since I wrote this letter and they haven’t found a solution to reducing greenhouse gases, then it’s not good. I have hope that this generation will be able to cut back and reduce the effects of our lifestyle on the environment.
Dearest Finlay,
I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to shop at more farmer’s markets.
To My Future Child(ren),
The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?
Dear Gabriel,
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – The Lorax
Dear Tomorrow,
I will stop using plastic and will plant trees. I will also not waste water and electricity.
To my daughter and son,
Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to contact my local officials on passing measures against climate change
Dear Future,
I hope that things have cooled down. I hope that people and governments have come together to save our earth. I hope that everyone is able to breath clean air, drink clean water and see the beauty in nature that I do. I promise to do my best to take part in repairing the damage we’ve done so that my hopes may come true.
Dear Finley,
I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?
Dear Tomorrow
I hope that environmental issues are a thing of the past.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to work with my family and neighbors to reduce carbon output.
To earth & its inhabitants,
Its been heavy on my shoulders since I found out about the state of climate woes as a child.
