Not Okay, Boomers.

I believe the defining aspect of 2060 is how we are handling the effects of climate change.

By Jules from Eden in Utah

I am not hopeful that it will be equitable in resources or protections-based on the classist, racist, politicized hierarchy for COVID-19 testing we’re seeing today. In 2020 I think people will remember Trump as an authoritarian maniac who killed hundreds of thousands of Americans from his narcissistic ignorance. I believe we’ll be paying for not acting in time for climate change-but the younger generations who are paying that price will not be the ones who made those decisions.

What inspires me? My children and my grandchildren. I wonder what their public health policies and lifestyles will look like. I wonder if they’ll be compassionate.
