Terrible work, everyone.
When I was young, they told me we were working on new technology and it was going to stop the climate issue.
.
When I was young, I saw polite little PSA’s in magazine’s telling me not to shower too long.
When I was young, I heard of the hydrogen car.
When I was young, I watched the crocuses grow in the spring.
When I was young, the snow fell on the correct dates.
When I was older, I realized the scope of it all.
When I was older, we were setting up the wind turbines.
When I was older, they were testing out new tech to harvest energy from currents.
When I was older, I saw my first electric car.
When I was older, we got new recycling bins.
When I was older, my neighbor threw his oil-heater out.
When I was older, I learned that cold melt water from the pole was slowing the Golf stream.
When I was older, I saw no crocuses.
When I was older, it snowed a day in May.
Today, I fear for it all.
Today, we are throwing the wind turbines in the trash after their use-life ran out.
Today, I know we don’t use solar panels cause it’d make electricity too cheap.
Today, they had posters begging us to sort correctly.
Today, I saw even more electric cars, and I knew they still ruined the climate.
Today, I looked outside, at the snow that came two weeks ago and stayed.
Today, it hit two degrees.
Will there be a tomorrow?
