Extremely disappointing! The past few days have been frustrating and disillusioning.
We owe it to the next generation to create a livable world, yet the inaction is staggering!! How much longer will we let opportunities slip by?! 🌍🌎🌏

Tough to start my first post here with everything happening lately — #US election, #COP29. I’ve been losing hope, but maybe there’s still a way forward. It’s all in our hands! We all have a role—spread climate awareness and demand action from your government.
Together, we can make a difference! 🌍✊
