Governor Newsom, Cal Fire, US Forest Service.
You are betraying our children's future with your destruction of
native shrublands and forests.
Stop releasing carbon with your habitat clearance and logging projects
under the guise of fire protection.
Acknowledge your actions are contributing to Climate Change
as if your kid's lives depend on it,
because they do.
We are running out of time.
The preeminent threat the chaparral faces, we all face, is human-caused climate disturbance caused by the unnatural release of carbon from the burning of fossil fuels - stored carbon that has been locked away for millions of years.
Like adding too much sugar to a cup of coffee will make it undrinkable,
adding excessive amounts of carbon to the atmosphere
will radically alter the world's climate.
Take personal action to help reverse this civilization killing behavior.
3. Make personal changes to reduce the amount of carbon you add to the atmosphere. For example:
- Reduce or eliminate beef from your diet.
- Alter your transportation habits to reduce consumption of fossil fuels.
- Help others understand the impact of the Climate Crisis (connect emotionally).
- Vote for leaders who acknowledge the Climate Crisis and support change.
- Support companies who are reducing their carbon emissions (vote with your wallet).
- Replace screen time with socializing, creating, learning, art, hiking, gardening, loving.
- Install solar panels if you own a home and can afford it.
