I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.
I want to do everything I can for you to have the best life. With saying that, I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on. I am going to recycle more than I already do. Make sure to turn off lights or unplug the devices I am not using at the moment. Go paper-free with documents I am able to do that with. I promise to do all things plus more because I can’t let something that I do, affect you.
To my daughter and son,
Surrounded by scientists who shared my fears and visions, I often had a hard time to accept that outside our small community climate change received marginal attention.
Annalu minha filha amada,
Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.
Dear Lalo,
I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.
I pledge to use less plastic.
To My Future Nephews,
I want you to see those corn fields in the north, the beautiful beaches down in Florida, and the stars in the woods at night.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to stop eating beef.
My darling Cassidy,
I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.
Dear child,
The journey of humanity does not take us to Mars like the world now likes to believe. It takes us home to our true self where there is no separate self. Where we are all one. You know all this. Look after yourself my child, look after your brother, your friends, your children, all the animals and the whole planet. Love them like there is no tomorrow.
Dear Hailey and Lily,
We know about this. If we don’t fix this for you, it’s our fault.
Dear future child whatever your name is,
Climate change right now is really bad, I’m writing this during the COP26 conference in Glasgow (which is an hour away) and I’m listening to politicians talking about promises for the future. “If we fail, future generations will never forgive us.” -Boris Johnson
My Mini & Lou,
Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
Dear Tomorrow,
Less meat, more on my feet!
