DON’T PAINT THE FACADE OF PROMISE, ACT NOW

When leaders make a decision, they need to address problems at their root cause rather than treat just the symptoms. Things are not as simple as saying “reduce, reuse, and recycle” or adding more renewable energy resources. Climate change, our economy, and our usage of energy is far more complicated than that. Policies and even established laws to protect the environment will have little use if no one acts upon it or if no proper implementation and regulation occurs. Doing so simply paints a facade of promise in a world that is overrun by pollution and the extinction of multiple species.
