From massive wildfires to major winter storms, we're already feeling the effects of the #climatemergency 🥵, but 2020 Ocean Awareness Contest Bronze Award winner Hope Gantt hopergantt (Age 14, Virginia) reminds us not to underestimate our organized potential (👉 swipe for a closeup of her piece "The Power of Together") ‼️ "2019 was a year of unprecedented public awareness for climate change; over four million people congregated for the September 20th climate strike," she writes. "Public actions such as protests result in policy changes which will eventually help us cut carbon emissions, reduce acidification, and restore marine life. In the same way that millions of phytoplankton gather together and make an incredible impact, when we assemble, there is hope." ✊🌊 Want to join our community of student artists calling to protect our blue planet? 📣 Check out our 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest: WATER RISING, link in bio. · · · #OceanAwarenessContest #climatechange #climateaction #riseup #...
