Dear Daughter,

Today is May 2nd, 2022. I am in a Global Environment class in my second year of college, and we have learned so much about climate change and the concerns that we are facing. Today I am making a promise to try to live as sustainable as I can to ensure that you can experience so many wonderful parts of the world, like the trees, the flowers, the plants, and so much more.

I’m sitting in the grass on the quad right now, with the wind slightly blowing and it is so peaceful. I hope that in 2050 you aren’t learning about the problems that can arise if we don’t make changes, and I hope those changes don’t happen. I know I can do my part by reducing my carbon footprint, saving energy, and making sustainable choices for the food I eat and the clothes I wear. I can invest in the choices I make in the present so that you can have a great future.

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

I now feel less overwhelmed and powerless, and I am determined to fight for our planet and your future.

Dear future loved ones,

As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.
 

Dear friends,

Rather than exploit it, destroy it, poison it, why don’t we just enhance the beauty of it, guard it, and love it?
 

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.

To my dear children in the year 2050,

Dear tomorrow,

If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.
