Wildfire

My heart goes out to everyone who has been evacuated or lost their homes as well as all firefighters who are on the ground battling.

Because of that, many people are worried about how we treat the planet we already have, and with good reason. The alarming data surrounding climate change and depleted resources has forced the average person to consider their own footprint and ability to change.

But while three-quarters of Americans are concerned about the environment, far fewer say they make an effort to live in a conscious way all the time. Only 1 out of 5 say they make an effort all the time.

This might be because we always talk about climate change in the Arctic or other far-away places, or because we don’t want to lose convenience, we don’t know how to change, or we never get around to doing the research.
