Every day, humans continue perpetuating climate change. Yet some people don't even think it's real. It's a shock to learn that "the world is ending" when you've been told that everything is just fine. Don't worry, it's also October 3 which means we have some lovely (mean) girls to help us get through it.

Phase 1: ANGER. No one likes dead animals, no honey, or more South Carolina heat, and you're pretty sure that's what climate change is.

Phase 2: Disappointment. Maybe your favorite stores are large perpetuators of climate change. You can always shop somewhere else, I guess...

Phase 3: Recruiting. You refuse to act almost crazy alone. Accepting climate change is difficult and moral support is the best.

4. Phase 4: Disgust. You're tired of even hearing yourself drone on and on about how unsustainable we are as a planet, but you don't know what else you can do.

Phase 5: Shock. Literally how does Stacey not know about climate change? (This happens throughout the process.)

Phase 6: Obsession. Even the climate now is lowkey aggravated with how much you yell at people when they don't recycle. At the end of the day, the humans of America are really creating about 2% of waste, and large corporations create the other 98%, so don't be too bitter.

Phase 7: Sadness. It's okay to have a bit of #SummertimeSadness but at the end of the day, none of us want climate change. I promise.

Phase 8: Success! You finally convince your mom/grandma/brother that climate change exists. It's a small win, but it's the best one you've had. (Except admitting it happens too.)

Even though it's difficult to come to terms on climate change, it's necessary if we want to continue living in our world. So you keep doing your #thang and spread the good news.
