is
the
prevailing weather
conditions (winds,
temperature, air pressure, humidity, rain, sunshine,
and cloudiness) of a region of the earth over a long
period of time i.e. decades, centuries and longer
periods. Weather

The
Earth is reaching a climatic nexus in our
environment,
geographic,
and
political history.
There are a number of
causes for
change, however an
overwhelming number of scientist are deeply
concerned over the rapidly increasing
temperatures, rising sea levels, melting ice and
an ever increasing amount of gases and
particulates
in the air. Every day we hear,
read and see many disturbing signs of change;
rising number and
strength of
storms, raging
wildfires, world wide
droughts,
animal extinctions,
and diseases . |

Solutions are
available if only we are willing to exert the necessary
personal
and
government initiatives. I agree with Greta
Thunberg's world wide protest of a growing
number of young people speaking out and
protesting that they want to inherit a viable
world. We are facing a crossroads in our
human existence and the existence of our planet,
as we know it. We
must decide which is more important greed, power, egos or an environment that is sustainable, balanced and suitable
for generations to come. |

Here are some suggestions that we need to keep in
mind when thinking about the environment: |
|
1. Stay informed about the issue. Don't let climate
change become a secondary issue. |
|
2. Join and contribute to
Organizations whose
purposes are to protect and preserve our planet |
|
3. Don't buy or support companies that ignore or
work against the preservation of our environment. The power
of the purse is truly an assume tool. |
|
4. Plant trees, shrubs and other
plants that will take CO2 out of the environment. |
|
5. Hold governmental officials accountable for their
voting and policy decisions that will affect our
environment. |
|
6. Don't count on others to express their concerns
or act on climate change. Do your active part. |
|
7. Work with your neighbors through sites as
Nextdoor, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Neighborhood Organizations and block
parties to encourage and actively work to change the
understanding of the crisis we are facing. |
|
8. Check our
Advice page for resources on how to save our
planet. |
