So, I've been away for quite some time. And I'm back. I'm not sure how consistently I'll post, but certainly, as I have thoughts to write about, I will.
It's early morning as I write this, and everyone else is asleep. I'm looking out the window and I see the beautiful green grass in the morning light as the sun begins to cast its rays of yellow, warming all it touches. And I can't help but think about depressing things. I know. It's strange. I'm worried about our planet. I'm worried about our generation's future.
I took a class last semester on global climate change and it's changed me. My dreams for a hopeful future seem threatened by inaction, and by ignorance. I watched a video yesterday by Hank Green on climate change and at the end, he made a statement about not knowing why, despite what we know, we aren't moved to action. (It's a great video!)

I don't know either... I know these things, and perhaps it's lack of funds, inability to truly enact change on my own, comfort... I don't know.
But I'd like to change. And I'd like our world to become a better place.
