GREEN: Only way to go

I read with appreciation the Weekly Weather Almanac by Mr. Harris and Mr. Mann on Feb. 6. While clearly laying out a case for the normal climatic cycles of our planet over the past few thousand years, they also clearly indicated that they believe we should “go green” whenever and wherever possible to help offset mankind’s activities on our planet. Over the years, my family has attempted to minimize our obvious negative impacts on Idaho’s incredible water, air, land and wildlife. Why? Very simply, it is in our common interest to conserve these resources, use them wisely when needed, clean up the mess we leave behind, and maintain or even enhance their exceptional quality for future generations to enjoy.

Am I glad my 15-year-old is focused on buying an electric vehicle for his first car? Absolutely!
