1) What's the weather like where you are right now?
Hot, naturally, during a Floridian summertime.
2) Has your weather been seasonally appropriate lately, or has it been unusual?
I haven't noticed anything unusual for FL, but I was vacationing in Philly a while ago, and it was definitely hotter than normal. My relatives there noted that, so it wasn't just me.
3) Have you noticed any trends in the weather near you over the past few years?
Hotter summers and colder winters. I barely see red or orange leaves during fall, and don't really notice spring....
4) Are you worried about climate change?
Absolutely! And I wish politicians would do more to fight against it.
5) Are you doing anything to combat climate change?
I'm not perfect by any means, and I don't always do it intentionally, but in some ways!
- been vegetarian for a few years now
- use bamboo toothbrushes for brushing my teeth and bar soaps (rather than the liquid kind) for showering (and also turn off the water when I'm scrubbing soap on and turn it back on to rinse off)
- use a reusable water bottle for the most part (occasionally making some exceptions for certain times)
- recycle and also be mindful of what I buy
Like I said, I'm not perfect and am not always acting as sustainable as I could, but I'm not gonna break my back doing it, and I don't think the average person should either. That said, I hate when people who can try to defend why they shouldn't bother. The onus isn't on the average person, but we could still help, especially by not giving money to companies causing the most harm. (Though, of course, I don't want to force anyone to do anything either.)
