Dear future me,

I hope that people are more aware of global climate change at the moment. Although, the fact that it took 31 years to recognize it is horrific for me as it may be too late at this point. I hope at this point, we moved passed fossil fuels and are beginning to use renewable energy more. I also hope that there is better transportation for our people so that way they won’t feel the need to commute with the cars individually.

From the time I’m writing this, the world has made efforts in bringing down our GHGs but it is minimal in my opinion; but it is better than doing nothing at all. I hope you are doing something to sustain global climate change. I’ve learned to use energy-saving appliances and hope you will continue to do the same.

If you see protesters in the streets blocking the road, please tell them there are better ways to get the word out. Just blocking the cars from passing by will make them burn their fossil fuel still. Don’t be afraid to speak up.

Sincerely,

2019 you

Dear Abigail and Olivia,

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

 

Dear Seamus and Tuva,

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise I will only use renewable energy.

Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.

 

To My Future Child(ren),

The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?

 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

 

I promise to plant trees and to turn off the lights.

 

Dear Grown up Alton and Dot,

The most important thing in my life is you, which means that as your mom – I am doing my very best to make sure that when you read this letter, Earth is a cleaner and safer place for you and your children.
