MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • November 1, 2020
If we keep going down the current, well-traveled road, our future is bleak. A child born now would live to see the rate of climate change accelerate, which in turn would bring about mass extinction. That child might even be one of the millions of climate refugees as much of the world becomes inhabitable. Fortunately, that’s not the only road open to us. Some countries are already venturing down less-traveled roads with promising results. The results of this election will take us down one or other of these paths, and we won’t get a second chance. Let’s follow Robert Frost’s lead and vote for those who will choose the road less traveled. It will make all the difference. ~ Erica L. Bartlett, Portland
