Global warming
by Nicole O’Connor
October 13, 2008

With the upcoming election, there are many issues on the average person’s mind that will affect their votes. One issue that has been on my mind over the past few months is global warming.

Those who have accepted the reality of global warming are making an attempt to do the everyday things to reduce their impact. In a country where many issues are directly impacted by our politicians, why should this important issue be any different. The impact our politicians have on our world is very significant. Considering this in your votes in the upcoming election really could make a difference.

If anything, just remember that this earth was given to us. We did not create it or give it to ourselves. It is our responsibility to take care of what was given to us. I hope congressional candidates Mary Jo Kilroy and Steve Stivers can both consider what their influence will be on our future and adopt strong plans to deal with global warming.
