Reflection
Reflection
One of the things that inspired my work was my Climate Hero Bill Weir and the research that I did on him, along with the research provided on the Resources page on the Bow Seat website, which recalled how we can be heroes and don't need a cape to help stop climate change. What this means to me is that we don't have to be rich, people in power, or even adults to create a positive impact on the world. All we need is our minds, our determination, and our hearts to make the world a better place. It's such an amazing feeling to be educating others on topics that's not discussed enough, especially with the youth of today's society. My message to the listeners is that there are so many ways to make a positive impact. One thing I learned as I was doing my research is that people tend to sleep on the regions of the world that really have it bad when it comes to climate change. Climate change is not a state problem, or even national problem - IT'S A GLOBAL ISSUE. Whether it is through my voice or through my art, I am going to make sure that this topic is not one to be forgotten or lost because WE NEED ACTION FAST. My climate hero's efforts make me feel hopeful for the future knowing that there are people out there who care and are willing to go out of their way to make sure we all have a brighter future.
