Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s eldest daughter, Violet, detailed an argument that she had with her mother in a hotel room on catastrophic forest fires in a frank test for the University of Yale.
The 19 -year -old young woman, who is a first -year student at the prestigious Ivy League College, wrote on an emotional confrontation she had with the star of “13 Going on 30”, 53, in a university research document of the World Health Review of the School.
Violet revealed that she and her famous mother – who also shares Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13, with the star of “Good Will Hunting” – argued on climate change after being forced to leave their plush house while the devastating forest fires of Los Angeles ravaged California in January.
“I spent the January fires in Los Angeles to chat with my mother in a hotel room,” wrote Violet in his article, entitled “Chronically sick land: COVVID organizing as a model climate response in Los Angeles”.
The teenager complained that the behavior of “richest citizens” was one of the engines of the “climate crisis”.
Garner, for his part, was “shocked with the shell, surprised by the magnitude of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my brothers and sisters” – leaving Purple “surprise to her surprise”.
“As an Angelna for life and a member of the generation Z climate, my question had not been if The palisades were burning but when, “added purple.
“While I was chatting with adults from the hotel where we went to escape smoke, I found that my position was rare: people talked about the duration of reconstruction, how much it would cost and how tragically strange,” she continued.
“The crisis was acute, a burst of bad luck. It came from a combination of strong winds and low rains. ”
Violet also recalled that his younger brother, Samuel, was skeptical that forest fires had something to do with climate change, asking: “What has global warming have to do with wind speed?”
“I hope most of us understand the climate crisis better than my little brother,” she wrote.
Elsewhere in his test, Violet described climate change as “existential and accelerating”.
“It is anthropogenic”, she writes, “trained by unbearable consumption models concentrated among the richest citizens of the richest countries, who have already subjected most of this country and the world to deadly temperatures, to cycles of madness, to rising seas and to dying crops.”
The teenager concluded her article by comparing the public health protocols used in climatic disasters, while calling for the recognition of “political methods and commitments” of comfortable and disabled communities.
Before registering in Yale, Violet made an appearance at a meeting of the County Supervisors Council in Los Angeles in July 2024, where she demanded mask mandates in Los Angeles hospitals.
Violet shared his experience with the recovery of viruses in an emotional advocacy, saying: “The county must oppose mask prohibitions for any reason.”
