Check out the link above of a speech I delivered at the local Green Party’s campaign launch. My family is doing lots in our household to reduce our footprint, but we need the government to legislate change. We don’t have much time before climate change will become irreversible. This election is crucial for our future! Saturday was national tree planting day, so our family planted some trees and bushes at Maple Park. It was so easy to participate and we had a blast. Trees are the oldest organism on the planet and it was great to pay our respects to them. Trees are almost magical in the way that they are able to suck carbon out of the air. We need to plant billions more in the next few years to at least slow runaway climate change.

It was so much fun leading the crowd and seeing so many young people act as leaders to support their future! What we all have to remember is that attending strikes isn’t enough! The more we can do the better, stop using plastic as much as you can, reduce your carbon footprint and let the politicians know we do not have time to waste! Write letters, make phone calls do whatever you can. We have to act today if we want a future for tomorrow!
CLIMATE ACTION NOW! In Vancouver over 200,000 people protested along the streets! In Canada over 85 cities participated! Over the course of the week over 6 million people in 4,500 locations across 150 countries protested for our right to a future!
On Friday night, my family and a few friends attended a lecture about climate change at the Chan Centre. David Suzuki and Stephen Lewis both presented us with amazing speeches about our world’s urgent consumption problem. The need for a sustainable energy source and a government that’s number one priority is the planet has to be enforced right now!There were two young speakers there as well that asked important questions about what youth can do to help make a difference. This really inspired us to take action even more, and showed us how much power young people have to make a difference. Most people, including us, have a hard time finding time to invest in helping with the environment. But any appearance helps. If it’s to a strike, lecture, whatever you can do, it all helps make a difference towards a better future for our planet.
Today’s little event was a huge success. My sister and I and some of our dance friends worked with Pixie and Eva from the Green Party to cut out signs so they can reuse them for the upcoming election! It was fabulous to learn lots about the fascinating life of these political leaders and share a little about what we want to see too! Thank you for the excellent experience! We hope to work with the Green Party far more in the future , promoting youth!
Two months ago today we did our shore line clean up! It was a great success and we collected a lot of garbage. We found various very small pieces of plastic that easily could’ve been digested by marine life. Sadly our biggest collection was cigarettes with 147 of them. On one beach!
One thing we had never really thought about before was the environmental impact of outdoor parties. A group near a picnic table we assume had a gender reveal as pink coloured confetti littered a very large area of the grass. We spent over 40 minutes trying to rid the grass of this plastic but it was very very hard to clean up. This plastic could very easily have been digested and killed wildlife, just so a small group can have a short surprise. Think before you act! Shoreline clean ups are said to be excellent at the shore acts as a filter for the ocean and if we can get this litter before it reaches the ocean we can save lives! Overall it was a very positive and good experience to remind us how much we have an impact on other animals. |
