A letter from Dec 18, 2024

Dear FutureMe, I learned in our science class that we should never waste the opportunity to take care of our environment. While we still have time and while it’s not yet too late, we must make it our responsibility to protect and nurture the world we live in. Someday, the consequences of our actions will return to us, whether good or bad. As the saying goes, "You reap what you sow." So, while there’s still a chance, let us lead the way in caring for nature because if no one takes the initiative, then who will? Over the past year, I’ve realized that I sometimes neglect the small actions that could help the environment. For example, I often forget to properly segregate waste, conserve water, or choose eco-friendly options. These actions may seem small, but they can have a big impact over time. I want to change these habits and become more aware of how I treat the environment—not just for myself, but for future generations. To my future self, I hope you have made these changes part of your daily routine. Have you started using sustainable products? Are you joining activities that help protect the environment? I hope you are, because even small steps can make a difference. One thing I think you will need is perseverance. Taking care of the environment isn’t always easy. There might be times when it feels like your efforts don’t matter, or when others don’t seem to care. But don’t lose hope. Remember why you started. Every small action counts, and if you stay consistent, it can lead to something meaningful. Be the person you want to be—someone who inspires others to care for the Earth too. The planet needs you as much as you need it. Sincerely, Your Past Self
