We choose greed so we can take more vacations in the mountains.<\/p>\n
We go to the mountains we are ruining with our greed.<\/p>\n
We say the mountains are beautiful.<\/p>\n
Obviously not beautiful enough.<\/p>\n
Please<\/em> fight for change. Please<\/em> fight for our home. None of us want to face the day we must explain to our grandchildren that we chose to be selfish instead of being proactive.<\/p>\n This is not a political statement. I am simply asking nicely<\/em> to remember that we\u2019ve only got one chance to live. None of us are perfect. Not you, not me, not your sister, not your dog. We cannot say we fight for life, for our future families, but not fight for\u00a0the air they will need to breathe or the water they will need to drink.<\/p>\n Because in the end if we don\u2019t protect this nothing will matter. Not your right to vote. Not your right to bear arms. Not your right to choose life. There will be no life. No fight. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Below is a selection of photographs showing fragile environments affected by our decisions as a country and world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adventure","category-michigan","category-wanderlust"],"yoast_head":"\n
