We could just do it.

And it truly is this challenge of political will just not being there and having like an entire political party in this country that's like.

climate denial as a core policy and drill baby drill in their literal GOP platform.

And the other piece of it is your fault.

It's your people.

It's the culture part.

Like we just don't have enough people talking about

the challenge, but also specifically the solutions and helping people see that making those solutions happen in the world, like leads to a better world for all of us.

Like who doesn't want cleaner air and cleaner water and like green jobs and all the good stuff that comes with addressing this head on.

And I just, I...

So in this like midterm election moment, I'm like vote for people who get it on climate, please.

Like pick a campaign and help win it, right?

Up and down the ballot.

Like school board, who's approving like do kids get to learn about climate in school?

And your city council deciding whether to invest in municipal composting and bike lanes and all that stuff.

It all is super important, right?

All these people with cultural influence are not talking about it.

Oh, they're not talking about climate.

They're just not.

I mean, a few people here and there, but like it's not in movies.
