Editor,

Cutting through soap opera drama and paying attention to news of profound significance these days is and art. Top of the pile for a growing mass of folks, is the climate crisis.

Our planet’s lifeline-ecosphere-is under severe pressure from our carbon emissions. Consecutive months of global heat records have underlined the urgency with which we need to act. Good news, we have the solutions but do we have the will? A pat on the back to those who change light bulbs, ride bicycles, and drive efficient vehicles but now voters in Washington have a golden opportunity to make a larger difference.

Initiative I-732 levels the playing field so renewable energy can compete with fossil fuels. I urge you to vote yes for the health and well being of future generations.
