Global Warming

Why do we protect the environment? Each person has his or her reasons. I just read an article about how some of the ski slopes, Aspen, in particular are working to reduce global warming and do what they can to protect the climate. Auden Schendler, Director of Aspen’s Environmental Division said something that I believe to be extremely accurate. “If we protect the environment out of greed, that’s even better,” laughing “Greed works.” The entire ski industry loses if we do not learn to control our climate.

I read in another magazine a story about a woman who left her SUV running the entire time during an hour long yoga class. When questioned about why she left it running it was because she didn’t want to return to a cold car. When further questioned about whether or not she thought about how she was contributing to global warming, she replied that she didn’t believe in that stuff.

Across the globe, there are people and places which are feeling the effects of global warming today and are learning what further problems we will have in the future if we don’t do something about it. Each of has to determine what we will do and how we will do it to help reduce the speed with which global warming continues.
