Dear my future self,

First of all, I am sorry for making you climb the mountain back up to how the world and environment should look like. Now that it is 2050, I hope it is in a better place. To help with this here are some things I am going to do. First of all, I am going to eat less meat. Eating less meat is one of the top things you can do to help the environment. I hope when you are reading this, you are almost a full time vegetarian. Secondly, I am going to join a beach clean up crew each summer. Although the clean up job I am going to do will be very miniscule to the whole world, it is one more person helping. Without beach watches and clean up crews, there will be no beach that I can go to. I am keeping a promise to you, that I will advocate and push for a better future for our world and environment. Lastly, I want to say thank you. Thank you for finally making the effort and thank you for giving our world the second chance it deservers. As we know, there is no Planet B.

Dear Grandchildren,

I hope we can pass on a better place to live so that my grandchildren and their future children can enjoy the beauty of nature that our wonderful God has given us.

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.
 

Dear Bella,

I promise that I shall continue to do all that is within my capabilities to leave you a world where there is fairness and justice.

Dear Future Self,

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.
 

Dear my future child,

I promise you, I am going to do everything I can to save this planet for you. I won’t let you down, I swear.
 

Dear Brothers & Sisters All Across Mother Earth,

I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.

This is for the countless children I already see suffering the impact of climate change around the world, and the generations to follow.
