Dear leaders, You failed us.
It's your responsibility to protect the youth.

But when faced with the choice of fossil fuel money for your campaigns, or the wellbeing of your children, you pick fossil fuels.

Today is Earth Day. Please save your phony Earth Day tweets and Facebook posts, I don't want to see them. Put those in a bag along with your toothless "thoughts and prayers" tweets for hurricane victims and dump them in the ocean just like you permit corporations to dump their waste.


Because my generation is so done with your talk.


I'm a 16-year-old sophomore in high school. I have my whole life ahead of me, and there's so much I want to do.
Read: Who is taking the lead on climate change?
I want to travel the world and see all its natural wonders. I want to run for office so I can be the leader I always wished I had.

But I have to come to terms with the fact that all of the above very well may not happen: because I'm growing up in the early 21st century, a time when the world and all its life systems are falling apart. Climate change has loomed over my every life decision, every time I try to plan for the future. ........................
