California is burning, with terrible droughts in the Southwest. Hurricanes are getting bigger and stronger, as witnessed by Sandy, Katrina and now Ida, destroying cities from New Orleans to New York. And what are elected officials doing? They offer their thoughts and prayers. Our planet is in crisis, and Washington is talking about taking action in 2030? No! Our planet, mankind, cannot survive if we don’t act now! We’ve had the technology in place, for decades, to begin to address many current problems. For too long, corporate profits were the priority, but now, if global warming isn’t No. 1, what will we be leaving our children and the generations to follow? ~ Doug Davis, Windham
