I hope that the Earth has made great strides to recovery. I hope you are voting for officials that take climate change seriously and that this issue is a priority to them. Keep fighting to change the direction of our dying Earth and try to save it so you can relay this message to your grandkids.
Dear Future Self,
It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
Dear Tomorrow,
I’ll buy only food that I plan to eat before it spoils.
To my wide-eyed warrioresses,
Since my two daughters emerged into this world, all of my tomorrows have become more dear.
Dear Potential Future Kiddo,
To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating. Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
Dear future generations,
I pledge to you now that I will work tirelessly and with all my willpower so you don’t have to live in a world where you have to worry about the next storm.
Dear grandkids,
I believe this fusion of ecology and economy backed by the digital technology is our great achievement.
Dear my future family,
I will promise to help climate change as much as I can.
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.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to take my bike everywhere. Taking Golden Gate Transit to SF tonight.
Dear future me,
If we don’t stop cutting down trees for agriculture and to build houses then the future generations will not think about trees when they hear the word Earth.
Rachel and Noelle,
I hope in a small way this helps your world.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will aim to lower my carbon footprint!
