To my precious son or daughter,

I hope the future is safe and prosperous for you. But I would be lying to you if the world today is taking the right steps to create a safer future. The world right now may seem safe but I am worried for the direction it is currently heading. We are contaminating the environment, and we seem to be pursuing short term profits at the expense of our future climate. I want to try my best to make a clean world for you. If the people in present continue on the destructive path we are now, the future you live in will be in grave danger. I realized that I can no longer just talk about climate change, but I have to take action and inspire others to save the environment. I want the best for my future child.

Dear tomorrow,

Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences.

Hallo Clara,

Dear Hailey and Lily,

We know about this. If we don’t fix this for you, it’s our fault.

Dear Future Self,

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

Dear Future Generations,

I promise to make as many changes to my life as possible to make yours as great as mine.

To my Dad,

I hope on this Father’s Day, my 24th birthday, and the rest of days, we remember that the most basic part of life is living happy with the ones we love. Acting every day against climate change will allow us to keep that simple piece of humanity.

Dear Emilia and Tommy,

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.

Dear Tomorrow

I will get my roommates to be more environmentally friendly.
