Dear me,

You’re about to graduate college. Today you’re about to finish your thesis and give that big carbon 2030 presentation. Remember how passionate you felt at 20, I hope you keep that passion in you and are still working on climate 30 years from now. You’re currently looking for a job to do absolutely anything to try and help save the world, I hope you find something! Job hunting is stressful, especially during a pandemic. I hope all the energy and love you put into working on sustainability pays off, and that by 2050 we are well on our way towards drawing down climate change. Maybe by then we won’t even call it a crisis anymore.

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear tomorrow,

If there’s one thing young people have learned while quarantining, it’s that Gen Z holds so much power and is capable of a lot more than we think. We’ve created a community that has united us all and started to bring about change for the good of our futures. Now, with the help of Gen Z (and of course, people of all ages), we have the power to save our home, the Earth.
 

My dearest children Ameilia and Alivia, 

I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.
 

To My Children,

Is the world really polluted?
 

Dear Tomorrow

Stay Cool and Save the Whales
 

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 Me,

I promise that I will change my behavior to benefit our trees.
 

Salutations to whoever may be reading this,

I promise to do my part. I promise to be the change I want to see in the world, and I hope that you, reader, will do the same.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I have solar and will be getting an electric car next week
 

To my Children,

As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.
 

Dear Future,

We need to work to save our beautiful home.
 

For my children,

If we haven’t done enough and the world you’re living on is apocalyptic or if you’re living on another planet then I’m deeply sorry and just know that I believe in you and I know that you are both strong and smart enough to handle anything.
 

Hi buddy,

I can now see that the solutions are there, that a transition of the magnitude that is needed, is possible.
