Dear Josh,

When you read this I hope you have lived up to your goals in life and are happily married with children hopefully. Remember how big of a deal climate change was? Do you remember learning about fall semester sophomore year in your Global Environment class? You appreciate Earth as much as Mrs. Dahl did, you have always found happiness in the natural environment. I hope that people started realizing by this point how important saving our climate is so unbelievably crucial to the survival of the human race. I can only imagine what the world has turned out now, 30 years later. When you read this Josh I hope you have done this one thing, help make our planet a cleaner and safer place so that your ancestors can enjoy the natural gifts this planet provides for us.

Dear Finn and Cy,

I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to use a refillable bottle, bring my own resusable spoon/form wherever I go, use clean personal care products (without chemicals).
 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use my reusable water bottle more often
 

Dear Elliott,

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.
 

My Dear Grandchildren,

In writing this letter to you, I am searching for ways to make my connection and commitment to you more present in my current experience
 

Dear… Parents,

Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

The only way to survive it, even if you don’t feel like you’re winning, is to keep your hands on the rope.
 

To My Grandchildren,

It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures.  These are the confessions of a climate activist:
 

Dearest Gray,

When I asked you why the purple Violet called to you, you told me it was “magic”. I hope that you can still find the magic of life. I hope, despite everything, it is still in abundance.
 

Anya,

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.
 

Dear Evan,

We want your future family to enjoy the same beautiful places we enjoyed.
