The New Quiet Storm
Alright brothers and sisters from other misters it’s time to make our voices heard loud and clear regarding climate change and how it would affect us in the future. Let’s face it, it is not our fault that the climate is the way it is. The climate change we see now is in result of an accumulation of pollution cause the adults of the past. As Kevin Danaher, Co-Founder of Global Exchange told me “We (adults) caused this problem, it’s your (the youth’s) job to clean it up.” Some of you may be thinking, “how rude” but that’s not the mindset to use because we as youth ourselves pollute the environment. We by the shoes and clothes from the factories that are unregulated and can pollute the environment at will. We buy the video game systems and computers that we keep on standby all day, wasting energy yet giving the government more excuses to promote more “clean coal technology” (hmmm…didn’t know coal can be “clean”). Hey, this is our environment too and we should take charge to make sure its clean!
Talk to you next week!
This week’s quote:
“In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.” – SEVERN SUZUKI
