I was really inspired by the ‪#‎PeoplesClimateMarch‬ yesterday. It reminded me that this fight isn’t just about the future of polar bears, penguins, and pika—although these are issues I care about mightily. This fight is about so much more than that; it touches all of us. It’s about whether kids in the United States can play at playgrounds without breathing dangerous levels of smog. It’s about whether families who have farmed the land for generations will have to give up the only life that makes sense to them. It’s about whether the world’s poorest become refugees and whether indigenous people can continue to subsist on the earth's bounty. In short, it’s about what kind of world we leave our children. If you are inspired as well, please tell EPA that you support the Clean Power Plan. Having interned there, I know people’s comments really do make a difference.
