Nature is a profound ally in the fight against climate change, and by saving it, we save ourselves. We must, among other things, conserve wetlands, restore coastal habitats, preserve old-growth forests, and reduce fire risks for communities in forested regions. If we use more hemp for paper, clothing and other industrial use we can stop cutting down trees. We need to protect forests, big and small, and one in particular, that is near and dear to me, Buttonhook Forest in New Castle New York. This amazing magical space is home to wildlife, 700 trees, is a carbon sink and watershed which provides many benefits to the ecosystem. It also contains Native American Sacred Ceremonial Stones, thus making it a sacred and revered space for Native Americans.
We need to take action on a personal level to press our elected officials to create policies to help reduce carbon emissions, build infrastructure for transportation (EVs, Maglev trains) and more. Malcolm and I speak with Evalyn Bladstrom and Rusti Wolintz about their shade of green and the importance of being engaged in environmental issues that will bring cleaner land, air and water to planet Earth and lower carbon emissions. Please think about what your shade of green will be in the new year. Take action on both a local and global level. We owe it to Mother Nature and the Seven Generations to come.
