Dear tomorrow,

I write to you today apologizing for the attitudes of the generations that have inhabited the Earth until now and I worry about you and all future generations. Unfortunately, our selfishness and excessive greed have closed our eyes to the well-being of the planet, and it has suffered the consequences. We don’t take care of him as we should, but I have hope and I believe that we will change this situation. We are trying to make people aware to recycle the garbage from their homes, to plant trees and not deforest conservation forests, car companies are creating less polluting vehicles, and so on. So please be better than us. Don’t let greed outweigh your ethical and moral values. Be wise, whatever you sow you or someone else will reap one day.
I’m trying to do my part today, recycling, donating, and reusing pieces of clothing, not being a consumerist person, but I want to be even better, reducing electricity consumption at home and using fewer combustion cars.

More Messages to the Future

 

To my children – Chase, Maya and Harlan

I hope that we manage to change the system really soon, while there is still time. So that you are not left with the mess, and trying to fix something that you didn’t cause. I hope we figured out a way to be kind, and caring for others who will suffer more than us. A way to let go of the greed and look at ways we can help others rather than take from them.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I will become the change I wish to see in the world.
 

To my future self,

It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
 

Dear Luna,

I will never give up on you, on humanity, on the future.
 

Dear Hannah, Harper and future baby of Ryan and Colleen Lane,

I will not stop fighting for a more sustainable future, your future.
 

Dear Kids,

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.
 

Al mio piccolo, grandissimo bambino,

Hai compiuto da poco 1 anno e giusto ieri hanno annunciato la scoperta di 7 pianeti che potrebbero racchiudere in essi la possibilità di sviluppare, o aver già sviluppato, vita a livello organico.
 

Dear Seamus and Tuva,

So it’s 2050. If the good people are winning the greater struggle, fossil fuels are a shamefully long chapter of the past, and there has been a full scale awakening to the need for only renewable, clean energy.
 

To the Future Generations,

I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?

 

People of tomorrow,

Your path will only be as clear tomorrow as we have made it for you today.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to shop at more farmer’s markets.
 

Queridos nietas/nietos,

Creo que debo hacer más. Por ello, he decidido escribir esta breve carta para empezar un proceso en el que vaya escribiendo más cartas, conforme vaya teniendo más claridad de mis posibles contribuciones.
