Dear Niam,
I’ll continue to fight for a future, for your future, though I may never see it, though the shade of the trees I plant will not be ones I sit under in my lifetime. For if i can even improve the chance by .000001% I will have improved the chances… and that is enough to me.

Dear future generation,
I will do everything I can in my power to ensure your voice is heard before it’s created.

Dear Future Me,
If it is in fact that bad, then I want you to remember that you did what you could to help dampen the impact of the inevitable.

Dear future children,
I assure all of you my babies, to live a life that is sustainable and be conscious of your actions. Always protect what you have and that is the earth you live in and your future children will live in.

To the Child Whom I May Never Have,
Climate change encompasses life, death, poverty, racism, health, the economy, etc., so you think it’d be high up on our priority list—and despite the irrefutable evidence that points to disaster, we still choose to divide ourselves further and many cling to apathy.

To the people of the future,
If you do not act now to preserve the centuries of life found on this planet, then everything that makes Earth unique will become history. Including us.

Dear Matthew, Sam, and Sophie,
There is a promise in the Bible: ‘I shall restore the years that the locusts have eaten’ and that points to a promise of complete healing and restoration. But until that comes I intend to do my best to ‘save the planet’ in whatever way I can, and I encourage you to do the same.

My darling Cassidy,
I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

Dear future Bernie,
No matter what you end up doing, I hope you are happy and living in a healthy environment not needing to worry about all these issues. I hope you’re able to have children and not worry about the environment they’re living in. I hope you’ve been able to make an impact on people and were able to convince and motivate them to address these issues. I know you’re doing what you can and I’m proud of the work you’ve done and are doing to make a more sustainable world.

Dear future family!
I hope to be sustainable. I hope to learn all I can about waste management, soil health, And food preservation. This way when the trash has piled up, and the news talks about our dwindling agricultural land supply, and when there are no more fresh strawberries to eat in the winter you and our family will have learned the skills to replenish what has been depleted.

Dear Grandpa,
I hope what I’m doing to help the environment has some sort of visible results, but the fact that you understand what I’m hoping to accomplish keeps me going. You probably won’t be around to see the world in 2050, but I promise that I’m working my hardest in my own way to keep things as good as they can be.

Dear Me,
When looking at these large problems it can be difficult to see how our small actions can make any change. We must do what we can to make the world a cleaner place and make known to those around us how we have impacted the world for the short time humans have been alive.

Dear Future Child,
I loved, and still love to play in the snow, go for a hike in the fall, look at all the different colored leaves and hang out with friends on the beach. I love to be outside, appreciate the fresh air and explore new places. I love the freeing feeling of swimming in the ocean and riding the waves.

Dear future self,
I’m still not completely sure what I want to do with my life yet, but if I am able to educate the youth about important things like this, that would be very important

Dear Sammy,
By this time you will be 34 years old. It is scary to learn about these things regularly because the future holds so many unknowns.

Dear Future-Self,
My final message is to value what we have and to take care of it, because we only have one earth and one chance to make a change. With this letter, I promise to do my part towards improving the environment for current and future generations, plants, and animals worldwide.

Dear Future Me,

Dear me in 2050,
I remember when I was 7 and there was a select few speaking about the climate and the issues facing humanity. Today, with the help of social media and proper advocacy real change is being made. Unfortunately, there is still much that needs to be done. That is why I am making these promises to myself today.

Dear Mom,

Dear future self,
Hopefully by the time you read this, climate change is a meme (you remember what those are right?) and not a dangerous crisis.

Dear future generations,
I hope we have convinced everyone that climate change is in fact real and how important our amazing planet is for the well-being of humanity as well as all of the other beautiful ecosystems.

To the future,
My college course (global environmental) is what started the fire in me to make conscious decisions in my daily life, with the knowledge that every action has a reaction. My hope is that by continuing to have these hard and tiring conversations, it will spark something in others.

Dear Mikey,
The burning of fossil fuels is something that needs to go and needs to go fast. If we can eliminate fossil fuels I believe our planet will be able to heal at a rate not even ourselves can explain.

Dear Future Family,
I hope the time between this moment I write to you and the moment you’re reading this letter is a time you can look back on as an era of ecologic conservation and transformation rather than of tragedy. Is that too much to hope for? Here’s what I am doing now to ensure those hopes for you.

Dear future me,
This summer, the summer of 2021, you experienced your first California forest fire. You were in New Jersey. The smoke had traveled into the air and created a haze that held the sun so that it was somehow both gloomy and bright out. It created such an intense sunrise you took a picture on the way to work. You thought it was really cool, until you found out what it was from.

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.
