Sorry that the planet is dead and we didn’t do anything to save it. We didn’t care enough about the future and we were selfish. No one did anything to stop it. For the people who tried, sorry that no one listened. Earth used to be so beautiful, vibrant, and lush. Now, I have no clue what it’s going to look like but I know it’s not the same.
Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …
I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
To the generation after mine,
But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
Dear Future Grandchild,
We can learn a lot about how to treat others from stories that have been passed from generation to generation.
Queridos nietas/nietos,
Creo que debo hacer más. Por ello, he decidido escribir esta breve carta para empezar un proceso en el que vaya escribiendo más cartas, conforme vaya teniendo más claridad de mis posibles contribuciones.
Olá Pessoal,
Com essas ideias simples e força de vontade, podemos tornar um mundo, um lugar melhor para se viver, com menos mortes, menos lixo, transforma-lo em um mundo diferente.
To My Future Children,
I hope by 2050, our society has taken initiative to be producing energy solely through renewable sources.
To my dearest Gabriel,
What gives me hope is what is yet to come, what you will experience in your lifetime.
To the future generations,
I hope that you all can enjoy the Smokey Mountains in your lifetime too and that they look how they did back in 2017 when I saw them.
Dear Malasher and Alex,
My goal was to help you grow into better citizens of our planet; to help you care about our natural world and to make everyday choices that reflect concern for our beautiful earth and our own health as well as encourage you to work together to make changes in our community.
Oi Luc,
Estou esperando ansiosa sua chegada pra que a gente possa fazer muitas coisas boas juntos, uma delas, é cuidar bem do nosso planeta.
I love you Earth.
Dear son,
Everyone should be grow at least 100 trees in his lifetime.
