The system we have been operating within for the last three generations is flawed and needs to change.

“The oceans are warming faster than we thought.” “Greenland’s ice is melting 4x faster than expected.” The climate change headlines just this week are terrifying. The scale and consequences of the problem are global and therefore paralyzing. How can we, as individuals or the community of Missoula, do anything to combat climate change?

First step: breathe, relax. If you are even reading this column, you are likely already recycling and reusing, ditching the plastic bags and plastic straws. You maybe even made a New Year’s resolution to ride your bike more or take the bus to work. You are doing what you can in the ways you know how and that are available to you and that is great.
