We’re killing the earth and that’s really fun. No one believes us because we are young. Our forests are turning to ash in a second. Ask the whole world, and they will tell you about it. They will tell you how they have lost all their homes while people go tweet on their phones “global warnings an expensive little hoax” but this time. It is not. A joke.
Dear 2045,
I don’t think we are going to survive. So if you end up hearing this story, I just want to say.. I’m sorry
Dear friends,
Rather than exploit it, destroy it, poison it, why don’t we just enhance the beauty of it, guard it, and love it?
My dearest Paloma Bear,
I want the very best for you and for generations to come. There is only one planet earth. Your mommy and I will make a genuine effort to make an impact to protect it for you.
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.
To my daughter,
The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
Dear future me,
My hopes have always been to live in a brighter and better generation, where women are respected around the world, human rights are respected and last but not least where animals and mother nature is cared for by us individuals.
I promise to take shorter showers.
Dear Annie and Eric,
I hope that this life of good things is not just yours to enjoy, but that you also have decided to fight for others to have this life, too.
People of tomorrow,
Your path will only be as clear tomorrow as we have made it for you today.
Dear Gabriel,
When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.
Dear future loved ones,
As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.
My future husband,
I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.
Loved One,
That we all have a role to play no matter how small, we all can make a difference.
