The other day, after waking up and taking a shower, I decided to go buy myself a bagel for breakfast. While waiting on my food, I started up a conversation with the man behind the counter. “Beautiful day today, isn’t it?” he asked, I agreed but stated that the weather is bizarre for this time of year. In response he said “yeah, it’ll be a warm Halloween this year, thank God.”
I myself must admit that I am no activist; I rarely read the news, I'm not up on many issues, and I don’t go out of my way to defend the environment. However, I do care about the state of our planet which seems to be becoming worse and worse by the day. It is late October yet the weather is still 70 degrees almost everyday. The sun is scorching hot and breezes are rare; even the trees seem confused by the weather has many are still green and have yet to loose their leaves. It is disturbing seeing the world around change so drastically. What may have once seemed like a far away fear when I was a child is now all too real. Some people may minimize the strange weather we’ve been having, or may even be grateful for it, I however am deeply disturbed.
