Meet Zeke, a 16-year-old boy who has always been ahead of his time. Despite being a member of the Gen Z age group, Zeke often finds himself at odds with his peers. He despises the stereotypes his generation has earned: entitled, lazy, and obsessed with technology. These labels do not pertain to him. Zeke is an intellectual with a logical and analytical mind. When someone tries to win an argument by yelling or crying, he rolls his eyes and dismisses them as mere attempts to manipulate emotions. In fact, he often finds emotional arguments lacking in substance – just downright annoying.

So, naturally, whenever he comes across public campaigns aimed at saving the environment from global warming with images of polar bears stranded on melting ice caps, Zeke scoffs at the poorly directed attempt to appeal to emotions. These heart-wrenching images have been shown so many times that they have long lost their effect on people – they are all the same, dreadfully boring. Zeke doesn’t understand why organizations don’t approach global warming in a more logical manner. To find a solution to a problem, people need hard facts and statistics, from which a sound judgment could be derived. Guilt tripping wasn't doing anyone any favors.

And the fact is, climate change is caused by human activities. Skeptics will vomit their objections, but deep down, they know it. They’re just in denial to suck at the very last drops of sweet, sweet juices that underground pools of liquidized fossil goop have to offer. But Zeke knows what it takes to move their stubborn asses. He knows because he thinks like them. Zeke is used to getting what he wants, and he is willing to use anything and everything in his arsenal to convince people to stop destroying the planet.

One may question his motivation – after all, it isn’t in his character to be so passionate about a matter that doesn’t affect him directly. He is from a wealthy family, living in a comfortable house located in a region with mild, temperate weather. But what people fail to see is his keen mind, his business acumen. He knows that there is no future in fossil fuels. The present is headed towards the future that is sustainable energy. Earth may seem like the Giving Tree with an infinite number of leaves and branches, but if people could just detract themselves from the problem and see the world as it is – an endless universe, they should understand Zeke’s point.

In the history of mankind, the farthest humans have ever been beyond Earth is the Moon. And the Moon has made it perfectly clear that it is not a good place for humans to live. Humans know almost nothing about the rest of the universe, which is infinitely bigger than the world we know. Thus, it will be much more cost-effective, time-efficient, and logically-sound for humans to remain on Earth and live out their infinitesimally short lives with what they have. And to do that, people need to protect and share the resources Earth has given them all along.

With this knowledge that spans across multiple disciplines, presented by a 16-year-old boy, perhaps now people will understand the severity of the current environmental crisis and the dire consequences everyone will have to pay for in the future. Zeke doesn’t want to pay. But Zeke is just an individual with limited strength and reach.

Zeke understands that true power lies with the mass, and that to hit homerun with people, the optimal balance between logic and emotion must be found, to present facts but also appeal to people's hearts.

Zeke has identified the problem and provided a simple, logical solution. All people need to do now is find out how to get the mass to cooperate.

Maybe polar bears weren't such a bad idea after all.
