They say the future belongs to the next generation, but our future is being decided now. Policies, industries, and leaders are prioritizing profit over the fate of our future. We have the right to fight for a safe and healthy climate as stated in the Navahine Plaintiff case results and recognized by Gov. Green. Global and local disasters remind us all that inaction is not an option if we want a livable future. We must utilize our rights and shield the future we wish to see. One thought, one concept, or one idea can be the beginning of a globally-changing initiative. It\u2019s time we quit complaining and begin fighting. Fighting for a clean future is our fundamental right and we shall not stop until our voices are heard, policies are changed, and our future is secure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
