Lauren Edwards 4/07/2025 9:41 AMI am interested in helping stop climate change because I am concerned for the quality of life on Earth for myself, my family, and future generations worldwide. It worries me that the world is undergoing almost irreversible changes, primarily caused by human activity. The potential loss of the world we are familiar with and the ability to live healthy, fulfilling lives while fully experiencing nature are at risk due to the climate crisis. I am interested in learning about tangible steps I can take to help stop and potentially reverse the effects of the climate crisis on our planet and its ecosystems, making the world a more hospitable place. Also, I would like to look for actions that I can apply to my home in the Midwest.Growing up in the Midwest, my connection to agriculture and farming has made me aware of climate change's impact on the land and the region. Due to the changing climate and weather patterns, the Great Plains region has experienced more intense weather. This has resulted in extreme heat during the summer and more violent storms, including more damaging tornadoes. The increased weather intensity has had a negative impact on the crops and land in the region. This is one of the many factors that led me to want to be more involved in finding solutions to the climate crisis.
