I have often wondered if “clean” air is an actual reality. But I forgot and or never really though about whether or not other may have thought it was a reality as well. But what I do know is this past Sunday after a graduation ceremony at my local church in Germantown Philadelphia, one of the mentors of my church asked me,” so u really think I could have clean air to breath in the near future? Do you think we could pass on a clean planet to our future generations?” I looked her in the eye’s and said YES!
Now many would think well why would you say that right? Why would you pass on False hope? To be perfectly honest, I sometimes do not feel that is the case. However, I truly believe that this generation, has the capacity to make it happen! We can have cleaner air, we can stop cooking the planet, but we have to hold our elected officials accountable! We have to create the society we want! I know that the youth of America and the older citizens who support us can make it happen! In reality one must look at the recent disaster such as BP, and the Three coal plant incidents as calls to action! Or what about the obvious increases in temperatures over our past summers? We have to make the change, and this change is preventative, such as Green Job Creation, extreme decrease from fossil fuels, to even the use of seasonal eating from local growers! It is all possible! In fact if we don’t do it who will??? What will become of us all??? Many suggest very scary solutions, that will harm life and our access to natural resources! So I am saying this, let’s do what we can! Let’s read the climate legislation! Let’s pass real laws that protect people and the Planet! Let’s create Jobs and let’s, create a clean and healthy society for us all! When I think of a dream I can and do believe that we can have clean air!
