We have grown up hearing the words “climate change,” learning about carbon emissions and greenhouse gases in our science classes, and watching the sea levels rise. We have also seen the effects of the climate crisis devastate communities around the world. Thousands of people, many in marginalized groups, have suffered and will continue to suffer from environmental injustice, pollution, and climate change. This is a reality now, not a future problem. There is no time to waste. As young people scared for our futures, the Green New Deal gives us hope.
