A couple weeks ago I watched the documentary "Chasing Ice" on netflix about the serious impact climate change has had on our glaciers. Time lapse videos taken over a few years show the glaciers shrinking at an incredibly alarming rate. It took my breathe away. We've certainly seen the results of climate change first hand this year and it isn't pretty. If you think this is as bad as it gets, you're mistaken. This is just the beginning. Warming oceans will lead to more destructive storms, those of which are increasingly more difficult for people to recover from. This hits low income people the hardest. It displaces pets. It leads to lives lost. I want to open a dialogue right now. What small impacts can we make personally to affect change globally? It's something that's been on my mind for awhile now. I'm starting by switching to a more vegetable based diet, cutting out the use of paper towels, plastic straws, disposable coffee cups, tampons and face wipes. I'm making it a point to ride my bike more often. What else can we do? I'd love to hear some suggestions. Also, please please watch Chasing Ice to see for yourself: https://chasingice.com/
