Dear children,

I write this letter to you as a record of my actions under the conditions we currently live in. It has been a difficult time in this year of 2022. There is a war in Europe, global warming around the world, racism, and homophobia, among other harmful issues that affect us. Poverty is growing, prices are rising and people are not getting the basics to live. Because of politics, the poorest are losing even the right to study, to get something better, while the richest are getting richer. 

But as they say: we never give up, and regardless of all these adversities, there are many people fighting for our good.

My children, I promise you to do my best today. I will try to avoid waste, I will practice sustainability, and share what I have with as many people as possible. I will not forget about the hardships I went through, and I will do my best to make a better future.

Despite all the difficulties, we are from a family whose principles are honesty and love for others, and that’s what I want to share with you. The future can always be better, and I hope you will always continue contributing to it.

Sincere Blessings of Light, Love and Peace,

Daddy.

Happy 34th birthday my son.

To laugh at our efforts as they were on such a small scale, too small some would say to make a difference, and then smile when we think about the number families just like ours that did the same thing.
 

Dear Lucy,

The clock ticks, time passes, and the earth and all of its inhabitants move closer to dangerous boundaries we can dimly discern but cannot see clearly.

 

Dear Tomorrow

Stay Cool and Save the Whales
 

Dear future generations,

It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to sign up for 100% renewable energy.
 

To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,

Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII.  I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
 

To my precious children

I want clean air, clean energy and muddy feet for you. I want this for all children.
 

Dear Abigail and Olivia,

What stories will you tell them about our generation? Will we be heroes or villains?
 

Querido amanhã,

Em fim, espero que você receba essa mensagem, e entenda o quão pequenos nos somos e como é importante preservar o planeta terra.
 

Dear Child,

Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.
 

Dear Tara,

Each of us only has so much power and the problem is HUGE, but I worked at this every day.
 

Dear Oliver,

I am getting your father on board too so that we can double charge this together.
