I am a vegetarian, which is helpful for the environment. Lots of other people are becoming it too, which is great! People are planting trees and helping the planet. We are trying to avoid the extinction of animals, and using electric cars, or no cars (I don’t need a car, and I’m sure lots of other people don’t either.) We are trying to use factories less, and pollution to prevent ice from melting in the arctic, and sea levels from rising, which is global warming.
Dear Gabriel,
When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.
Dear Jackson,
I feel deeply that it is my moral obligation as your Mom to protect your future and allow you to inherit a clean and healthy planet.
Dear grandkids,
I believe this fusion of ecology and economy backed by the digital technology is our great achievement.
To My Friends, Family and Future Grandchildren,
I realize my reflection of the past, current and future state of the environment paints a grim and pessimistic picture, but I feel optimistic in our ability to turn planet Earth’s fate around if we all work together and commit to making a change.
Vitória,
Antes de realizar qualquer ação pense no meio ambiente para que suas atitudes sejam pautadas na sustentabilidade. Assim o seu pensar e agir localmente poderão resvalar na escala global.
dear future people (:
I hope that people are still enjoying the wonders that nature has to offer.
Dear Tomorrow,
No plastic straws, no water bottles, shop local, no meat.
dear earth,
I promise those who walked the Earth before me and those who will walk the Earth after me that I will not stand by and let nature slip through my fingers.
Dear Tomorrow
I hope that environmental issues are a thing of the past.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to use my reusable water bottle more often
Dear Future Self,
It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
To my daughter,
The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
