Dear future Child…

I picture you playing in the sand and ocean just as I did, however, you may come across some our challenges as the past generations (including my own) have put up some barriers. You may see litter lined on the shores, trash in the oceans, or the effects of the rising sea level. Who knows, maybe will increasing temperatures you will be on this beach at any time of the year. As I do not want this for you, I promise to reanalyze and fix my carbon footprint, to mitigate my negative impacts on the environment and to treat the earth like the home it is. I will attend protests so that my voice is heard and hopefully policy makers hear so that they can make change on behalf of everyone. I can start small, so today, I will not eat that steak I was going to buy, but instead make veggie burgers.

BATMAN SAYS, “LISTEN!”

How can I help you save the world and our country?
 

Dearest Finlay,

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.
 

To earth & its inhabitants,

Its been heavy on my shoulders since I found out about the state of climate woes as a child.
 

My grandchildren,

I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My promise is to continue to dedicate my life, my business, and my future to creating cultures that embrace environmental action not only for our own good, but the good of the countless other species hurting from climate change.
 

To my daughter and son,

Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
 

Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I’m not allowed to talk about climate change around family; as my mom warned me, “climate change is not something that people think about in Mississippi.” But I’m worried for my family’s future.
 

Queridos filhos Heloísa e Henzo,

Tenho muito orgulho da minha função (agente de fiscalização ambiental do Acre) pois é através dela que posso dar um pouco do meu suor, para que no futuro ambos possam ter um lugar melhor para viver.
 

Dear Annalyse and Greyson,

See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
 

Greetings 2050 earthling,

Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.
