Abstract: Climate change is intimately connected with just about every aspect of our lives now, from intrusion into politics, to economics, health, the food on our table, and of course the weather– unprecedented fires, floods, and hurricanes. But we all have a piece of the puzzle, so can step up and do something about it.
