I hope climate change hasn’t worsened by 2050. I recently took measures to avoid this by not using as much electricity, such as turning off all unnecessary lights and using less plastic in my daily life. These small activities may be easily forgotten, but I hope my future self can sustain this habit, and I hope that owing to many people’s efforts, climate change will soon alter and improve.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to live a car-free lifestyle.
Para minha querida filha, Vitória,
Consegue compreender que estamos aqui de passagem e que temos por obrigação apenas tomar emprestado, evitado excessos e principalmente agradecer.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise composting in my house and getting an EV for my first car.
To my future self,
It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
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 grandchild,
There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
Loved One,
That we all have a role to play no matter how small, we all can make a difference.
Dear Future Ryan,
I promise to be a knight in the campaign of truth seeking.
Dear Nafia,
I also hope that your previous prayers have been answered. The way you wanted to create green jobs for your fellow city dwellers have been fulfilled already.
Dear my future loved ones,
I hope that humans can live harmoniously with the earth.
Dear Great Grandchildren,
If you are reading this, you probably inherited my fascination with ancestry, and the way it uncovers incredible stories of unlikely survival.
Dear Children,
I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.
