I’ve been so busy since 2012 working towards getting a price on carbon.
I’m sorry I’ve been so busy since 2012 working towards getting a price on carbon, but when the future’s at stake some of the present has to be sacrificed. I loved starting your ski adventures back when you were two and I especially enjoyed when your grandfather would join us. I’m trying so hard in order for me to have a chance to ski with my grandkids (no pressure, your choice of course).
Future Self & Ka’iulani,
We promise to reduce the amount of carbon we use on a daily basis.
To my daughter,
The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to take my bike everywhere. Taking Golden Gate Transit to SF tonight.
Dear Future Kids Like Me,
What I hope for future kids like me is that they continue to ride the groundswell of climate change support all the way into action.
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.
To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,
Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII. I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
Dear Tara,
Each of us only has so much power and the problem is HUGE, but I worked at this every day.
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.
To the wonderful children of our family – Elayna, Julianna, and James –
There is no issue more important to your future and your friends’ future than stemming climate change.
Dear Future Me: Only open after March 4th, 2050
I don’t regret my past ventures, nor do I believe I will regret my future ventures, but I’ve learned that I’ve needed to manifest these experiences into actions of sustainable development and conservation and protection of our environment.
I pledge to use less plastic.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will convince my family to switch their gas appliances to electric.
