"I want to be able to tell her that my generation did all it could to limit the worst effects of climate change. I want to tell her that we did our part, that we didn’t just pass on the problem to her, despite all we knew at the time. The crisis was not of her making; I hope we can show her how to be part of the solution." -- Matthew Black, March/April 2019 Sierra magazine
