Today I taught a lesson about climate change and the importance of a united global response which led to a discussion on the importance Paris Agreement. This made me reflect on when I went to high school and the optimism I had with the Kyoto agreement and the belief we were at the cusp of change. Decades later it is your generation and the growing youth movement that gives me hope.
To future Geof,
Cool, now that your jetpack is put away in your garage where you keep your flying car; how did the aliens save us from our own destruction? Did they have this hyper advance vacuum that just sucks all the greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere?
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to include the trees and animals in all my decisions.
Greetings 2050 earthling,
Starting in 2015 I committed my life to sustainability.
Dear future generations,
My hope for you is that you can have equal experiences with nature that I was able to have with my dad.
My dearest Paloma Bear,
I want the very best for you and for generations to come. There is only one planet earth. Your mommy and I will make a genuine effort to make an impact to protect it for you.
Dear future generations,
It’s never too late to make a difference. Our actions have very real consequences. We can educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and take action. We can hold companies like big oil and big plastic accountable for their negative impacts on the environment. We can educate ourselves and others about what causes climate change and what actions we as individuals can take to lower our carbon footprints.
I promise to take shorter showers.
Dear Ari and Levi,
Luckily, we have figured out ways to build things without making the air dirty, and we are trying very hard to get more people to switch over to this new way as fast as we can.
Hey Kiddos!
My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.
Dear Matthew, Sam, and Sophie,
There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.
Dear Tomorrow,
I feel optimistic for you, tomorrow. I can feel a shift happening already.
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.
