The golden fields will be blown into dusty plains.
The silent forests will be razed.
The brilliant blue lakes will run dry.
This peace will be burned.
My home will be turned to ash.
Markus is a 19-year-old sophomore college student interested in studying history and biology. He enjoys spending time outside and finds sanctuary in the many beautiful natural landscapes of his home state of Minnesota. Markus is passionate about the ecosystem of his home and the 11,842 incredible lakes it boasts. However, every tranquil moment spent in nature is bittersweet as Markus believes that people are not capable of stopping the impending environmental collapse the world faces, and that hubris and greed will soon plunge us into some of the darkest times humanity has ever faced.
