Class of 2022, first-year journalist, Friends and Stranger Things fanatic, French child struggling in Spanish, kind of wishing she hadn’t taken algebra 2. Lacrosse player with a surprisingly high endurance (but only during lacrosse season). 10-year Minecraft player with a caffeine-induced personality. Not to mention an obsession with Mario kart since she was 7.

We need to take action. Our planet is dying; our world and the resources keeping us alive are growing scarce. Nearly everyone knows and realizes this is a crisis. However, very few are doing something about it. Everywhere we go, we see the damage humanity left behind. Sadly, we have grown into a state of acceptance, which should not have been reached yet. Now is not the time to believe we have lost all hope of saving our home. If everyone does their part, no matter how much, our planet can be saved. Now is the time to take action.
