The federal government on the Friday after Thanksgiving released a report on Climate Change that stated the effects of the weather phenomena associated with an increase in global average temperatures is getting worse. In the United States, flooding, hurricanes, wildfires are increasing, and these weather issues pose a serious threat to America.
Whether you believe in Climate Change or not, shouldn’t we do our part to protect the environment and the world we live in? Don’t we want to live in a healthy and clean world? It doesn’t take much to protect our environment – all it takes is common sense. Industries should limit emissions and manage working lands. People and communities should find ways to conserve critical lands including forests and environmentally-sensitive habitats, and everyone should do their part to protect our waterways.
There are many ways for us to protect the place we live – all we must do is use common sense and have the will to implement those common-sense measures.
