The article rather has a good point, namely that we should be thinking about the environment every day, not just one day, or one hour, a year. But, of course, ‘climate change’ is not an environmental issue, it’s a political one
(San Diego Free Press) Last month’s annual Earth Day reminded people all over the globe of the importance of our planet’s health to everyday lives and to survival of future generations. Locally, thousands swarmed Balboa Park to celebrate the popular Earth Fair San Diego.
