Climate change happens — it is the extremes that challenge ecosystems and infrastructures, such as beaches, homes, property insurance rates, commercial fishing gear, roads and bridges, and wild bird migration dates. All I know is that I have control over my choices: how to set the thermostat for my furnace (I wear a sweater so I can lower my thermostat); how much and how fast to drive; what kind of vehicle to purchase/lease; closing my blinds or curtains when cold outside. I combine my trips. I specifically think about making climate friendly choices. Please try to make climate friendly choices. Thank you. ~ Pam Person, Orland
