I promise to raise my voice even though I feel uncomfortable and it’s easier to stay silent. I promise to ask tough questions of our leaders, whether at school, work, or government. I promise to change the thought “well, it’s not my place to say…” into “well, what do you think might be the long-term consequences of this decision…”
Dear Eleanor,
It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
Dear grand nieces and nephews,
I wish you this security knowing we changed because we love you.
To our future generations,
I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.
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 Tomorrow,
I have solar and will be getting an electric car next week
Queridas filhas Ana Luísa e Ana Carla,
Que vocês possam contar para seus filhos e netos que minha geração tomou consciência de sua responsabilidade e assumiu sua condição de natureza e a ela se reintegrou, com inteligência, interação respeitosa e solidariedade.
Dear Grown up Alton and Dot,
The most important thing in my life is you, which means that as your mom – I am doing my very best to make sure that when you read this letter, Earth is a cleaner and safer place for you and your children.
My Dear Paloma,
I’m going to commit to raising you with your eyes open. Being aware as much as we can, how to better our environment together.
Isabelle minha querida neta!
Nossa vida só tem qualidade se tem natureza ao nosso redor.
Querido amanhã,
Sempre é bom ajudar a natureza.
Para minha querida filha, Vitória,
Consegue compreender que estamos aqui de passagem e que temos por obrigação apenas tomar emprestado, evitado excessos e principalmente agradecer.
To my Kids,
I wish you all the best and always make sure that you can be proud of yourself and don’t need status-symbols for feeling nice.
