In some important ways, my generation has failed you in this regard, Cook said.
We spent too much time debating.
Weve been too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress.
This problem doesnt get any easier based on whose side wins or loses an election.
He further pointed out that the source of revenue of local farmers and fisherman depend on a healthy ecosystem.
The fisherman who nets come up empty.
That is really what we owe one another.
After all, we dont build monuments to trolls and we are not going to start now.
We forget sometimes that our preexisting beliefs have their own force of gravity.
It shouldnt be this way, Cook said.
But in 2019, opening your eyes and seeing things in a new way can be a revolutionary act.
Summon the courage not just to hear but to listen.
Not just to act but to act together.
It can sometimes feel like the odds are stacked against you, that it isnt worth it.
That the critics are too persistent and the problems are too great.
At the very least we owe it to teach other to try.
Lastly, Cook called upon the graduating class to take action to improve the world they live in.
Whatever you do, dont make the mistake of being too cautious, said Cook.
Dont assume that by staying put, the ground wont move beneath your feet.
The status quo simply wont last.
So get to work on building something better.
