To my nephew Christian,

I want a world for you where nature is healthy and appreciated. The beauty of the environment is profound and under acknowledged. I will fight to protect our home so that your children and their children can enjoy the view that I see every morning. Never abandon mother nature and never abandon the future. I want to live on knowing that I did my part, I helped and that I abolished my ignorance.

Learn about your surroundings, learn about what we did and most importantly never stop learning.

Your Aunty x

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Kiya,

Fighting for a system that rewards care for people and planet over profit.
 

Dear Kids,

I know it’s long past time to wake up. You deserve a future in which drought, famine, and war are not all your children ever know; the choices my generation makes now will determine your future.
 

Dear Brothers & Sisters All Across Mother Earth,

I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.
 

Dear Rosie,

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.
 

Dear Sadie,

You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.
 

The gift for next generation,

To save the big world, perhaps, we should change the mind from myself to my small family to my community.
 

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
 

Dear Children and Grandchildren,

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

Dear me,

Remember how passionate you felt at 20, I hope you keep that passion in you and are still working on climate 30 years from now.
 

My dear daughters,

I will use my voice to help bring awareness about climate change.
 

To the Future Generations,

I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?

 

To the future generations,

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.
