Global Warming Warning

Reduce reuse recycle
aim to have zero waste,
we need to tackle climate change
or global warming must be faced

If folk are willing to walk
car share or ride a push bike,
this will lessen their emissions
and won’t create a CO2 spike

If we purchase produce grown locally
we’ll decrease the amount of food miles,
our carbon footprints can be reduced
it’s time to change our current lifestyles!

Ken Rone Date: 5/1/2021 2:09:00 PM Thank you Jan for raising awareness. I spent my career in the cement industry. That industry alone contributes 3% of global CO2 annually. It has frustrated me since 1987. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/3/2021 5:51:00 AM Thanks Ken, it's only now people are taking notice, sad isn't it:-( hugs Jan xx
