Previous generations haven’t taken the best care of the environment and now it is up to us and future generations to save the planet. The flower in this photo symbolizes the generations to come as seeds of hope sprouting in the middle of all this environmental chaos. Current world leaders haven’t done enough to help the environment. They say they will but then do nothing or don’t take it as seriously as they should. Luckily, new upcoming leaders are committed to bridging political divides and coming together to address the issue of the climate crisis. -Audrey, 14 (she/her)
