Warnings are being sounded across the globe that we have a finite amount of time to reverse the effects of climate change. Most experts agree that we must engage in sustainable living practices to turn the tide of devastating losses. Every part of our closed ecosystem is being adversely affected by our decisions to proceed on the same social, economic and environmental paths that have led to this crisis.
