Wow, I watched the whole video - thanks for sharing this, Karena! Makes me think as someone who is part of the next generation. While education is my primary advocacy, I can't look away and care about our climate, too.

"I wonder if the next generation will know water the same way I did."

Rudy's poem clarified how easy it is to expect that things will remain the same, stay the same for our children. If I were to have a MAGA-type moment it would be around summer and water ... it is pivotal to every summer memory I have in all the countries and cities I have been privileged to live in. I want that memory of clean beaches and sprinklers and the tinkle of water fountains for my own grandchildren.

I think that is why his poem hit such a nerve with me.

I like the way you layer education and climate. I think you have the order correct, Linart, because education is training to see, and once you see, you notice and take action.
