The youngers need to start solving the problems because we will suffer the most? Its not like we didn’t deal with our pile of problems? Please, keep telling yourself this narrative and exacerbating the ‘problem’

They are the ones who will suffer most. Us olders are going to sneak away….

(It’s not like we didn’t deal with our pile of problems. But we haven’t gotten it all done.)

This is for the middle of the ocean…

Watch this and be amazed.

This is an absolutely critical issue, that we kinda’ have to solve at the same time as we respond to climate change. And this one man Boyan Slat makes me quite hopeful that we can do both!
