It’s like I woke up from a long fairytale nap.
I used to be super invested in the environment but placed that on the side when I got married and had kids.
Then, without plans, Greta Thunberg woke me up from the long, blissful life. I was just routinely checking my Flipboard page and saw her US visit. From there, I saw the efforts and the voices rallying behind her.
Now I am afraid. No,no. I am terrified! The science has finally triggered panic in me. We got 10 years to try and save Earth. 10 years! My kids are barely teens by then. I am not ready to witness the end of civilization, not now that I have kids.
And so I am in panic mode. I can’t work. I can’t seem to see sense to what I do. Nothing seems more important than dealing with climate change. Nothing.
10 years. How do we even start?
