To the Carriers of my Clan,

Be the generation that actually changes the world. So that YOUR children would have the joy of growing up on this paradise of a planet…

Take Earth as your mother; respect, protect and love her. Make Earth feel like your daughter; defend, protect and provide for her. Because the Earth – this our Earth – belongs to each one of us, as much as we each belong to her.

Aabo oro laaso fun omoluabi!

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Generations to Be,

If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love.

 

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.

 

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.

 

Dear friend,

I will fight for this cause and I will never ever give up because we, the youngsters, are the hope.

 

Dear Maya,

Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to live a car-free lifestyle.

 

Dear future generations,

Past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and huntedĀ all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left.

 

To all the children of the future and those who love them,

While there is still breath in this body I will give of my soul and my time and energy to making the world a better place, for you, and all the beautiful living beings of this world.

 

Dear girls,

I love you and I care deeply about your future.

 

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 Ellis,

So, dear heart, I am doing everything I can as the situation worsens.

 

Dear Evan,

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, ā€œWhen I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.ā€Ā  Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
