PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 5, 2021
Climate change has been in our news constantly, and especially now while the Glascow climate summit is being held. For those of us who believe in science, it is an anxious time, wondering if humanity can avoid this slow motion train wreck. There is, however, something we can all do that is without cost and may help to reverse the tide. Simply email your senators and representatives in Congress and tell them how you feel. Not just once, but every month. It does not have to be a long message. Just remind them that you expect action to reduce the harm of climate change. Do it routinely and if enough of us keep doing it, our leaders will be moved to take action. ~ David Witherill, Cumberland
