How many citizens of the world really care about Planet Earth? There is so much beauty surrounding us but yet do we recognize the need to honor our planet and safeguard it for future generations? Each one of us needs to do our part to preserve the world.
Today, teens across the world answered the call to action and raised their voices as part of a global protest movement for action on climate change. These teens as spokespersons and future citizens are asking us to listen to their thoughts. Shall we?

| Alexandria is the 13-year-old #ClimateJustice Activist who is the Co-Leader for @ClimateStrikeUS. Alexandria sent this tweet from New York City today where throngs of teens rallied.
While I could not attend the NYC rally this morning, I am following the tweets for #ClimateStrike. I have waited patiently for the Twittersphere to recognize this global event as a trending-worthy outcry of #stuvoice from youth across the world.
Humbly, I offer my poem created with the digital storytelling platform, Buncee as my action step to address the climate crisis issue. I will send this out into the world of social media to shed light on the power of student voice in a world that needs action to generate hope for a bright future.

Please listen to Love Song to the Earth, a hopeful song praising Earth while noting, "Tomorrow's in our hands now."
Earth's a vessel of beauty
To be safeguarded and loved.
Tomorrow is in our hands!
Take up the call for action.
Understand its urgency.
Tomorrow is in our hands!
