"When I'm 18, I'll be there at every single election."

I dream of a world where I can go outside and bathe in the sunlight and see nature and flowers blooming and not have to worry about pollution threatening their existence. I'm scared of a world where I won't be able to go outside and paint the beautiful things that I see because it's all been polluted. I want to live in a world where the ocean is plastic-free and thriving and people are conscious about their actions and how they affect the environment. We're going to regret not doing more. So many people are eligible to vote and don't. That blows me away, because if I had the chance to vote I would jump at it any second I got. The most frustrating thing is how people often tell me, "You're too young to know what you're talking about. You're too young to be involved in politics." I may be too young to vote, but I'm going to live on this planet for a long time, and I care about our future. If you can vote, please promise me that you will, on my behalf.
