PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 1, 2023
The Earth is heating up. It’s math, it’s science, and it’s happening now: wildfires, heat waves, warmer waters, ice melting and extreme weather events. We are fortunate in Maine; however, the signs are here. In 2023, we still allow tyrants to hold the free world hostage. Innocent people are losing their lives. People are starving. There’s cruelty to animals, racism, discrimination, random acts of violence, etc. We need to come together. Global warming and climate change must be addressed collectively as a species. The Earth is not concerned with where you live, what religion you are or your political views. Let’s take care of our home for us, the animals, our children and generations to come. ~ Paul Stratis, Scarborough
