Millions of young people like us have grown up with a sense of powerlessness and despair thanks to the pressing threat of climate change. Throughout our lives, extreme weather events have become greater in number and intensity, and many politicians have denied the need for environmental action. It’s no wonder some members of our generation have developed a real mental condition referred to as “climate anxiety.”
Instead of calling climate change a "crisis," we will celebrate Earth Day on Thursday by calling for a renewed sense of hope through public art.
