NOW OR NEVER

one among many

 I need to tell you something it is very urgent, our beautiful home is falling apart and many people are still to blinded by there own problems they aren't taking the time to look up and fix the most important one of all. We need to act now, WE need to act NOW we can't wait for some thing magical to happen because it won't the only way there will be changes is if we all unite and fight for the rights for us and our future generations. This is a message for everyone: you all have the capability to make a difference we can't just sit back in our chairs and say "well its not our problem" IT IS OUR PROBLEM climate change is happening right now and it is time to act. Climate change has been happening for a long time and many scientists have been saying it over long periods of time but back then people were too stubborn to get up and protest for THERE rights as humans to have a healthy planet. In April of 1970 Joni Mitchell released the song "Big yellow taxi" in most of her verses it enumerates many environmental concerns that are still relevant 49 years later for example "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" destroying large amounts of ground just to put up more structures. "hey farmer farmer put away that DDT now i don't care about spots on my apples. Leave me the birds and the bees. Please" using pesticides on plants in large industries that are a risk for many of our animals and pollinators "they took all the trees and put'em in a tree museum and charged the people a dollar and a half just to see'em" well you get the idea. My favorite verse of that song is "hey, don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till its gone" because the second we won't be able to go back all the people that did not help we deeply regret it DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. One of the biggest earth warrior is Greta Thunberg and she has made it very clear we NEED to do something but of course there are still people that are not listening. Every Friday she skips school to go protest. The fact that young people need to put there education at hold to make the adults listen is one of the most painful things to hear. We can't just walk around pitying our self's we must stand up and do something that will make a difference before the time runs out.
