To my future self,

As of right now, it is the year 2020 and the climate is very irregular and inconsistent. It seems to be only going downhill from here. Global warming, forest fires and rising CO2 levels are all very present and relevant in today’s world. All climate impacts reflect on each other one way or another. By doing our part as people of the world, we can flip the long-term effects around and change the world for the better. If we do not divert course immediately, our world and environment will be much worse than it is right now. I vow to do my part and turn this around before it’s too late. I expect everyone to contribute also. Hopefully things are better in the year 2050.

Dear Indigenous Persons with Disabilities,
 

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 Tara,

I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.

I see a world full of hope fueled by the desire for change.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use a water bottle.

Sweetie, you deserve clean air, water and soil. You deserve to thrive in an environment that supports you.

I hope, as your father, I’ve done enough to instill within you how science is a wonderful adventure.

Dear grandchild,

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to only use metal straws and reusable cups.
