So, I just read this crazy article that talks about how the wildfires in Canada are expected to cover Rochester in smoke tomorrow. Can you believe that? It’s like we’re living in a post-apocalyptic movie or something.
Anyway, from what I gather, the article explains how the wildfires in British Columbia have been raging for weeks now, causing immense damage and destruction to the environment. These fires have caused massive amounts of smoke to be released into the air, which is now making its way over to the US. Apparently, the smoke is so thick that it will be visible to the naked eye and could even cause respiratory issues for people if they’re exposed to it for too long.
But here’s the thing that really struck me: this is not the first time something like this has happened. Just a few years ago, we had similar wildfires in California that caused a ton of damage and displacement. It’s just crazy to think that we’re constantly living on the brink of natural disaster and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.
All of this to say, we really need to start paying attention to our impact on the environment. We can’t keep turning a blind eye to the ways in which our actions are destroying the earth. It’s not just about us, it’s about the generations that will come after us. If we don’t start making big changes soon, we might not have a planet left to live on.
