Eco-Legislation Matters

Posted on June 4, 2009 by Allie

Earthfirst has an amazing chart showing what our ozone layer would look like now and in the not-so-distant future if we hadn’t banned CFCs in the 80’s and 90’s.

Go take a look.

I know it’s really easy to feel like it’s hopeless, like maybe we can’t save the world from climate change or even make that big of a difference, but eco-legistation does matter. Vote, write to your congresspeople, and major companies. Support grassroots organizations. Encourage those around you to do the same. The decisions we make now have a huge impact on our future.

This is one of the things I loved about Seattle, everyone was so on board with earth saving measures. Now I live in the middle of the country where some people still don’t know you can recycle glass or plastic.
