Vote Yes on Saving the Planet

Greta Thunberg continues her American tour while Denver has some seriously bizarre weather, going from a balmy Indian Summer afternoon to a raging blizzard in less than 24 hours, and fires rage through Los Angeles. Neither one of these is concrete proof of global warming. Los Angeles has these fires all the time and Denver is not entirely unused to snow.
However, we don’t really need any more proof. It’s been proven. We need to act.
Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the star at an international climate conference in Denmark.
It is one issue that you cannot be too radical about. If you say we need to plant a million new trees, you are right. If you say we need to plant a billion new trees you are right. If you say we need to plant a trillion new trees, you are still right.
If you say we should encourage people to buy electric cars, you are right. If you say we need to build an infrastructure of charging stations which are as ubiquitous as (and maybe can just straight up replace) petrol stations, powered by a grid which is entirely powered by solar and wind energy, plus high speed trains criss-crossing the world, pedestrian zones in all inner cities, and bicycle paths everywhere, you are still right.
If you say we should be sure to put our paper, plastic, and glass in separate containers for recycling, you are right. If you say that all materials should be recycled, and materials which cannot be recycled should not be manufactured, you are still right.
We need to change, and we need to change right now. So, it just makes sense that the candidate with the most comprehensive and aggressive environmental plan is the correct candidate to vote for. And that is Bernie Sanders.
