Climate change is likely the most important environmental conservation issue of the century.  What was anticipated as a slow progression of change a few decades ago is escalating at a rate significantly faster than was expected, to the point where we are already witnessing impacts throughout the world.  Our government leaders and our communities need to understand the urgency for action in order to alleviate and minimize our risks for devastating effects in the coming years. Our environment, our governments, our communities,  our families and our children will each be affected by climate change within our lifetimes.  

An overwhelming problem like climate change can lead to inertia.  It’s such a huge dilemma, where do you start? How can people on an individual level really make a difference towards a challenge so massive? Starting with local, achievable action can be a strong first step.
