'Always remember the clear skies over Los Angeles in April 2020 and let it guide how we act when we start returning to normal.'
I am a high school junior in Los Angeles. Every school I have attended since kindergarten has celebrated Earth Day. My generation has grown up with a constant awareness of the imminent threat of climate change. We’re used to asking for straws and paying for grocery bags. We’ve missed school on Fridays to protest at City Hall.
This Earth Day, with the planet’s human inhabitants living in frustration and uncertainty, for once the Earth itself was at peace. The disastrous consequences of climate change are increasing fast; I have faith that humans will rise to the challenge once enough pain and damage has occurred. That’s why I now devote my energy to lobbying Congress, as a citizen, to take action.
