“The truth is, we’ve only got one world to live in, there is no Planet B. The environmental issues we now face have come onto mankind’s radar much more strongly in the last few decades than before and is therefore something which younger generations must consider now more greatly than past generations have. When we hear studies say that soon we may have ‘more plastic in the oceans than fish’, and that hurricanes like we saw in 2017 in the Caribbean may only get stronger and more frequent, and that the ocean may rise several feet in the next 50-100 years covering some ports and cities - it’s quite frankly negligent to think that it’s alright for us to ignore our environmental impacts, and leave such an unhealthy and unstable world for our children.”
