Postcards From the Future
Turning imagination into community climate action
Take climate action by reimagining a better future for your local area, and identifying ways to make it come true.
Travel to the future and write a postcard home to local decision-makers in three easy steps.
What kind of future will you create?
Step 1: Travel to the future
Take a time machine into the future and look around…
- What kind of world do you want to live in?
- What would it look like? How would it feel?
- What can we do to look after the world?
- How might it look in the future if we take care of it now?
Step 2: Write a postcard home
Now you’ve explored the future, draw what it looks like on one side of the postcard and write a few sentences on the other side.
Tell people in 2023 what a better future could look like, and how we got there.
Step 3: Send your postcard
Choose someone to receive your postcard:
- A local politician (MP or Councillor)
- A friend
- A family member
…and don’t forget to send us a copy for the online gallery!
