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.

More Messages to the Future

 

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 Finn and Cy,

I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.

 

Dear Darlings,

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

 

Dear Ezmae,

As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.

 

Dearest Finlay,

I hope you are healthy and happy and that you feel supported by the ecosystem around you because we are all deeply truly interconnected. We depend on the earth to take care of us, and nature needs us to take care of her in turn. We all need each other.

 

Pick up your trash wherever you go!

 

Oh My Lovely Faizan,

I love you my son. You are waking up now. Hopefully tomorrow, more of us will, too.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.

 

Dear girls,

I love you and I care deeply about your future.

 

Dear friends,

We need to rethink our consumption habits in order to reduce the impacts on the environment.

 

Dear Nova and Remi,

I wish for you both that another kind of life has been discovered, one of peace, moderation and concern for all life.

 

To my grandchildren,

Ahora vivo en la ciudad de México y cuando debe de llover no llueve… cuando hace calor de verdad hace calor.
