Dearest Wicomico,

Our world and our lifestyle is in danger. The way we carelessly crank the AC and eat meat (canned tuna for you) can not last. We see the BGE bill and bigger storms and we realize that maybe we don’t want this lifestyle. Not if it means climate change and hurting our planet. So we have decided to change our lifestyle. It isn’t worth it if it means putting others in more vulnerable situations at risk. We are incredibly privileged to be able to make that choice to become more environmentally friendly. You will decide to kill less birds and I will make the conscious effort to reduce my consumption. We will start conversations with our parents and family to rethink our energy and dietary needs. We have learned that in order to enjoy more, we need to be less. Less wasteful and less pessimistic and less ignorant. I will vote for important solutions like clean energy and green spaces while you take another nap. We see that we needed to change our habits in order to protect the nature that we love. We will do it for each other and I thank you for being the most inspiring kitten boy ever.

Dear Tomorrow,

I am so sorry we didn’t realize this predicament sooner.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I promise to reduce my waste production
 

My Mini & Lou,

Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
 

Dear girls,

I love you and I care deeply about your future.
 

Jeremy M,

My promise is to work to protest carbon emissions.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to turn old shirts into produce bags.
 

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?
 

Dear little one,

In the coming months, we plan to complete a full assessment of our environmental impact online. We hope to discover our biggest areas of resource consumption, learn what we can do better, and create an action plan to improve over the next year.
 

Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,

This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.
 

Dear Tomorrow

I will get my roommates to be more environmentally friendly.
 

To the generation after mine,

But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
 

Dear my future loved ones,

I hope that humans can live harmoniously with the earth.
