To the future generations,

The fact that I have to write this letter deeply saddens me. The state of our natural world is under barrage by the greed and inconsideration of the human race. At our current pace, the state of the earth you must inhabit will be one that no form of life can thrive within. If you are able, please do everything in your power to slow or even halt this damage. I understand it is far easier said than done. It isn’t fair, it isn’t just, and the blame is not held in your hands, but the responsibility is yours. I wish you the best of luck. Godspeed.

So today, my strong and spunky girl, I promise you this: I will stay vigilant and flexible. I will spread the word.

Dear future generations,

My hope for you is that you can have equal experiences with nature that I was able to have with my dad.

Dear Daughter,

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.

I won’t leave my lights on.

Dear old dude Mårten,

I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.

Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,

To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will do whatever I can to protect and preserve mother Earth for future generations.
