Good morning! Happy Sunday! By now you probably know that every Sunday I donate my social media to my @YearsofLiving team to talk about carbon pricing! This coming week, we are submitting over 260,000 signatures to qualify a carbon fee ballot initiative in Washington State. Christine, who wrote this Sunday's post, has been helping to collect signatures. She's a student at Whitman College in Walla Walla. Please read these posts and get involved! “At 13 years old, I was a part of my first climate change debate. I researched, printed out graphs of the history of the Earth’s changing climate, and found evidence that proved my point. I was ready--ready to debate that the climate was changing without any human interference. Of course, this wasn’t a side I had chosen to argue of my own free will, but one my science teacher had selected for me. Though I love debates, primarily for the perspective they offer, I couldn’t deny that the “research” I had done all presented selective facts that proved the other side right. In all four years of high school debate team, that particular debate was the only one that I could not morally or scientifically justify.

As a champion of reason and fact, there is no option other than to acknowledge that the climate is changing and that this change is induced by humans. It’s something we can act on. Not only is my fight for action on climate change a stance on our impact on the environment, but a stance against a denial of information for the profit of large industry. It is for the benefit of the forests, mountains, and coasts that I spend so much time enjoying, and against the corporations that want to destroy those for monetary gain. I stand for justice for the communities of color that are disproportionately affected by the changing climate, and against those who would deny them their rights to land, health, and sustainability. I stand because I can see no other option than to stand, and fight to #PutAPriceOnIt because I see no other future but the one that has to be sustainable to survive.”
