Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction. We have changed out all our lights to be energy saving. We are checking to make sure we have no dripping water. Not adding to landfills by just getting rid of things. We are doing this by checking with others to see if our discarded items can be of use to them, making it known that items are free for the taking.

This is small but I want Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel to know we can help change our world and make it better for them.

Also I must add I would not have even begun to start thinking of a better tomorrow if I did not have Gabriel’s mother, Jill Kubit, in our life. Happy Mother’s Day Jill. Thank you for a better tomorrow for all grandchildren.

Love,

Lala

Dear Future Today,

Here in California we’re starting to recognize our climate changing the natural world around us.

 

Annalu minha filha amada,

Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

We want to let others know about how to fight climate crisis.
 

Dear Tomorrow and Dearest Lex, 

I do believe that the collective power of everyone’s best efforts can curb the worst effects of climate change, and provide you with a more stable and secure future.
 

Dear Future Self,

I am scared of the things happening right now with our planet.
 

Dear Annalyse and Greyson,

See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
 

Son,

Make the most of every day because remember yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.
 

Dear Grandchildren,

So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.
 

Hello spawn,

I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you.
 

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.
 

Anya,

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.
