Carbon emission is destroying our environment. Between factories and automobiles, the burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation, we are adding more carbon to the atmosphere than the amount of removal that can occur naturally. Trust me, I got an "A" in my Meteorology elective. : )
Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are increasing with time (all the time). Anyone notice any climate changes recently? Hmm. Summer starting early? Hurricanes that form and come in such constant bombardment that they run out of names for them and have to switch to Greek symbols? Anyone noticed the activity in Tornado Alley this season? Not only that, but tornadoes are suddenly popping up in places no one would have expected them to. What....have....we....done.
In order to help combat this, I'm doing my part. I've started recycling more, driving less, and as soon as my lease is up in July I'm going to invest in a couple grow light systems so that way I can get my own hydroponics going, creating a jungle-like atmosphere right here (there) in the comfort of my own home. Day or night, cloudy or rainy, wherever I am, they'll get some light. With any luck, that habit will spill over to my backyard where I can plant a tree or two. In case you forgot, trees and plants help to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, it's a part of photosynthesis. Didn't you get that memo? So, if you aren't big on working outside, start inside and see where it goes. Do it for your great-great-great-grandchildren. They'll thank you for it later.
