PERSONAL INSIGHT

As a California resident, the last 19 years of my life have been filled with droughts and flash news concerning the conservation of water presented in the media. From dry canyons, to the death of rivers and creeks, the proceeding subject of droughts are not leaving the news anytime soon. As climate change history dates back to before my time, I have been living in a fossilized world awaiting its demise. If action is not taken sooner or later, the world will collapse into itself alongside its natural creations. Global warming has taken the lives of many wildlife creatures and healthy environments prior to the introduction and extreme usage of greenhouse gasses, fossil fuels, and many more underlying factors that add to climate change. Temperatures are dropping drastically, ice is melting, and nature is calling for reinforcement against its departure. Sustained studies and tests have been run to conclude the unlying fact that climate is among us and is present, and it is up to the next generation to fight the battle against time. As a second generation college student, I live to see the truth and stand up against the causes of climate change. Just as David Attenborough states in his autobiographical informative documentary, “We rely entirely on this finely tuned life-support machine, and it relies on its biodiversity to run smoothly.” Therefore, we as humans must take responsibility for mother nature, nourish the planet until we clear away.
