Secretary Kerry's oped on earth day

[karynnj]

- essentially a call for activism for addressing climate change like that against the environmental problems that led to the creation of earth day - April 22, 1970.

From the oped:

This Earth Day, I ask Americans and concerned citizens everywhere to crank up the volume. Educate others in your community. Take action and demand action on climate change. Make our message echo around the equator and from pole to pole. Help us engineer a truly global transition to clean energy.

As the first Earth Day proved, with enough people working toward the same goal, we can chart a new path — a path toward a cleaner, healthier more prosperous future.

We still have time to make a difference — but it's fast running out. Make no mistake: If we let this opportunity pass us by, that may be the only thing our generation is remembered for.

2. the Obama administration has done a lot in creative ways

Many are explained in Kerry's oped. It will be easier if this becomes a stronger issue among voters.
