Dearest Loved Grandchildren and Great Ones to Come,

Although some of you we may never meet in person, ‘Granny’ here is advocating loud and strong to make sure your Mother Earth planet is in top shape like it was better in my own days Granny so loved to wander. Wanting ya’ll to be able to walk through the lovely woods and enjoy the beauty of nature, to listen to all of nature’s sweet sounds of its inhabitants of birds, deer, and little critters frolicking in the clean criks, to be breathing in clean fresh sweet air without coughing and knowing it is being done for YOU and you and you! Enjoy my sweets and continue this legacy before you now with joy, gladness and passionate resolve to keep up your own advocacy and pass it onto those who come after you with all the love given you to from your Loving memory of Granny to all of ya’ll!

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Future Self,

It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
 

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.
 

Dear Tristan,

I am doing this to protect you, the food, water, air and biodiversity of a country that I love.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.
 

Dear Alex and Vivian,

This is my most important work.
 

To what we’ve overcome.

The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.
 

Querida Alê,

Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.
 

Dear Tom and Leena,

I want you to only see the beauty in this world; there is so much of it and I will protect this beauty for as long as I am here on this Earth.
 

Dear Potential Future Kiddo,

To think that my choices of sustainable commuting, eating a plant based diet, and working on our City’s zero waste program likely pale in comparison to the impact of not having a baby is nothing short of devastating.  Does it make me a bad environmentalist to honor my maternal instincts?
 

Dear Future Me,

I hope that when we look back on these years,  you’ll see that humanity can be good. That we joined together and fixed it because of we don’t, who will?
 

Our Shared Promise

I will act today so you may have a healthy earth to live on.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I will teach my children about a greener earth.
