11:47 pm
our minds as well as other climate changes as we want to make our world alert better. scientists continue to tell you those storms will only get worse because of climate change. that's why our response to 81 phenomena's has to go beyond disaster relief. so knowing that 50 percent of our greenhouse gas echoes come from that the more we can do on a individual basis and the more our cities hopes to reduce the barriers of the out lay that has to happen with those particular programs and the costs associated with that we can help
