Lynda Rice: Temperature and Humanity

So I am just curious about what is going on with this weather. Now, I am not native to the Newport News area but this just seems ludicrous. Something must be going on with the environment to produce this type of effect on the temperature. One day it will be 50 degrees outside and the next the temperature will rise up to 70. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy warm weather but when it comes in mid December it worries me. I guess global warming must be involved somewhere in the mix.
On the topic of global warming, it concerns me that people cannot make simple sacrifices to help the environment. Let’s take recycling for example; there are so many people who just don’t do it. Why? It is such an easy thing to do. Especially in the city areas where recycling pick up is free; people do not have much of an excuse not to recycle.
At my home we don’t recycle, I am not going to lie. My mom is not keen on the idea of having to bring the recycling to the dump. This is why I think some changes should be made within local societies. Maybe there should be locations around the county also to drop off recycling that way those not within the city will have it a bit easier. Just a thought.
