If you wait until you can see the impact, it is too late to stop it.-Beth Gardiner  

Just like the Coronavirus if we wait too long to act and fight against climate change it will be too late. Our planet needs our help now otherwise if we do not act on this matter we will be left with an infected planet where we can’t survive. We need to be proactive and not so reactive.

“Changes are likely to be temporary, with emissions from driving, for example, expected to bounce back as soon as people return to workplaces. If many grow fearful of public transportation, commuting’s carbon footprint might even rise further, experts say” – Beth Gardiner 

  This quote shows how we do still have the chance to change our planet and help it heal. During this season we see how people staying home and not polluting the air has actually positively impacted our communities all around the world. We see how air quality has improved and can keep on improving if we try to take care of our planet. 

 “And as with the corona virus, said Wagner, climate policies must push everyone to take heed of the cost their actions-whether disease exposure or carbon emissions-impose on others. ‘It’s all about somebody else stepping in and internalize the externality…’”  -Beth Gardiner 

We need the help of the government in order to make a change. People listen to voices with power and will more likely follow directions if the government enforces them and demonstrate how important it is to take care of our planet.
