To My Future Self,

I think that climate change is a prevalent issue. Right now it is overlooked and ignored by lawmakers and everyday people. They assume it is not going to affect us, even though it already has. We have longer winters and hotter summers, and there are more hurricanes and wildfires than ever before. I promise to take bold climate action today to ensure that the future has a better world where climate change isn’t as such an issue. I will be more conscious of my actions, and what effects they have. I will try to be less wasteful and be aware of what impact I have on the Earth.

 

from,

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear sons,

I’ve been so busy since 2012 working towards getting a price on carbon.
 

To My Children,

Is the world really polluted?
 

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 You Tomorrow,

What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.
 

Dear future niece or nephew,

We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

Don’t use plastic straws!
 

Dear Beloved Children,

As time progresses, there is hope that value will be placed on all living organisms, including humans, plants, and animals. Life will move at a slower pace, and being on your own time and moving at your individual pace will be the typical way of life. I consider this way of life good living, and I hope that future generations will live on this earth as it was once intended to live in peace and harmony.
 

Dear Future Explorers,

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
 

Dear Grandchildren — August and any others who were born after him

I joined millions of other people who wrote letters and made calls urging our leaders to do more to care for the planet.
 

Dear Lalo,

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.
 

Dear future generations,

Young people are making a lot of noise and politicians are now listening.
 

To my children,

If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.
