Dear fello$ citizens of the )arth in ///,

3y name is Cameron Cahill. 4 live in 3exico City. 4&m $riting this letter from the
future. 4 kno$ you might be a little surprised to hear that, but a fe$ friends and 4
had the idea of $riting to our ancestors. 4 chose to $rite to you, the people $ho
lived in )arth by ///. 4 hope my $ords help you decide if the future is good for 
you. 4n case it is not, you can still change it'
 

here are great things about the future. !e have flying boards to move around.
hey are very helpful for getting to school, for example. !e can go very fast
and the best thing about them is that they don&t need to be charged. hey use
solar energy, so my board charges by itself $hile 4&m moving around. +ctually,
none of the devices $e use every day has to be charged using $ires. 3y
grandma has told me that $hen she $as young, she used to have a mobile
phone charger $ith her at all times' 4 don&t even have chargers because all my
devices get their energy directly from the sunlight. Dad says this is one of the

massively $as not easy, but $hen it happened, our future changed.

here are some other interesting things about future, for example, $e use very
funny s$imsuits to go to the beach. 4&ve seen some photos of people from the
past $earing nice bikinis and shorts at the beach. 5ur s$imsuits are horrible'
!e have to be all covered $hen $e get into the sea. 3y biology teacher 
explained to me that there is an overpopulation of 6ellyfish all around the $orld.
(he says that the oceans used to be a balanced ecosystem but no$, many
marine species have gone extinct. #or that reason, fish like the 6ellyfish have

increased in touches

and it is

very to s$im $ithout protection because if 
sick.

 +bout the future 4 can also tell you about our food. !e eat very healthy and
delicious dishes. #or example, $e have a soup made out of spirulina. (pirulina
is a super food because it has a lot of protein in it. !hen 4 $as little 4 used to eat
spirulina in capsules but no$ my mom has learned to make a spirulina soup,
$hich 4 think is very tasty. 4 have heard that you used to eat a lot of beef and
hamburgers by ///. 4 love hamburgers' 4 think they are great but 4 don&t get to
eat them very often because they are incredibly expensive'

4 have told you a fe$ things about the future. !hat do you think of it" Do you
like it" 4 en6oy things very much, actually. 7ust one little thing, remember that the
future is in your hands no$. 2ou
2ou can leave it the same, make it $orse or make it
much better.
better. 4 hope you have lots of great years ahead.

ake care,

Cameron.

Dear Cameron,

hank you for your letter;

-i Cameron

4 see that your future is very interesting, as technology has advanced

radically, a future that to go to school have flying tables and see ho$
they use solar energy to the maximum for everything.

 +ccording to $hat you read in your letter, $hat 4 $ould do on my part to

improve the future $ould be

Recycle< recycling is vital not only helps to need less resources but also
avoids had contaminating the environment $ith $aste left over. 4t $ould
help to encourage people to cut do$n trees, to pollute $ater, to take
care of animals in danger of extinction, and if they could, it $ould make
strong la$s to punish those people $ho do not respect marine life.

4 $ould tell people to put plants in your life< 4t does not matter if you live
in the countryside or in the city, put plants in your life, take care of them
and create small green spaces. +s small as the plant is and for little that
it can do, it $ill be helping to clean the air of carbon dioxide.

If I improve the present, we will have a better future
