(22,271 posts)Pests, good and bad, showing up at weird times of the year, plants/trees maturing at odd times. I'm in CA and some of the leaves on the trees are already turning for fall. This doesn't usually happen until October here.
This is it. The politicians aren't going to do anything because there's too much money to be made destroying the planet. WE have to do it, individually, by reducing our carbon footprint. There are MANY affordable ways to do this:
Recycle
Use cloth bags instead of plastic
Buy used items instead of new
Grow more veggies/fruits and less decorative plants and grass (a HUGE waste of water resources)
Support the 'Buy Local' movement in your area
Start a compost pile
Buy more raw stuff and less packaged stuff
There's much more but you get the idea. Put BACK to Mother Nature whenever you can instead of taking away from her.
