The next day, I got a mail from the head protestor leader dude, there was a fountain of words pouring down from the title, I read the title: GOVERNMENT AGREES TO COMPROMISE WITH PROTESTORS. My head started to spin, there were random things about how the government will compromise under some circumstances and conditions and shall send ambassadors to Macau, Shenzhen and other parts of mainland China to spread the message about climate change, and the GBA will tackle it to make everyplace have better air, and not that hot of temperature, even though I wasn’t chosen to be an ambassador, I was still pretty happy the government was finally going to pitch in and help. Later that week, we were called for a meeting on how we can lower carbon emissions and stop global warming, and at the end, we came up with a list: Factories have to burn sustainable resources (If not, factories have to pay triple rent for the land.) Electric cars by the year 2030, all items recyclable by the year 2040. The following week, a big thing was on the news, slowly, I read the headline: GREATER BAY AREA COMES TO A COMPROMISE. “Yay! The government listened to our advice!” I jumped up and down in joy.
