Climate Smart Missoula and Families for a Livable Climate are excited to bring the DearTomorrow project to Missoula! Dear Tomorrow is a global storytelling project focused on sharing personal messages about climate change to inspire new thinking and action.
|
As the reality of the climate crisis becomes only more alarming and urgent, it can be overwhelming to think about what any of us can do to make a difference. Sharing our own stories - our fears and hopes, and the actions we're taking to be part of the solution - is a powerful way to build positive momentum for change.
This holiday season and New Year, make a commitment to the future. Think of a person important in your life - your child, a friend, a family member or your future self. Imagine it is 2050 and they receive a message from you written today. Your message shares your thoughts about climate change and your promise to take action to ensure they have a safe and healthy world.
