Love Letters to the Future #COP15

Love Letters to the Future

#COP15 strikes again. Love is the message, not only for the world we live now but also towards our children in the future. Make a Love Letter to the Future.
The project with this name Love Letters to the Future, produced by production company Xenophile Media in Toronto, is designed to raise awareness about climate change.

The project’s goal is to collect a critical mass of love letters and present them to the world at a live event during the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in mid-December. Throughout the event, a selection of the messages will be projected on a huge screen and read out by a celebrity.

A time capsule being built in Toronto will preserve the 100 best messages uploaded to loveletterstothefuture.com, as voted on by the public. It will be sealed in December, to be re-opened on December 13, 2109.

Comments about Love Letters to the Future #COP15

It’s a similar idea to the RSPB’s letter to the future petition. http://www.rspb.org.uk/lettertothefuture/index.asp

The main difference is that we deliberately avoided user-generated content, at least for this phase. For us, it was important to have a single statement that a mass of people could agree with, so that the RSPB can demonstrate to the government how many people are in agreement with the RSPB’s policy idea of a ‘green bailout’.

I think user-generated content is great, but appeals to a smaller, more engaged audience. Sometimes it’s better to just present people with something they can either agree or disagree with.

Do you want a future fit for your children, or not?
