Climate change coverage is valued

It was a great pleasure to see your article regarding your commitment to climate change coverage through a partnership with Report for America. What music to my ears and how immensely important to make all of us more aware of climate change locally, nationally and globally.

This is the most important and urgent issue facing us today, to protect the planet we have the pleasure to inhabit.

As a retired banker and entrepreneur, I love our "free market" system. However, our society is out of balance regarding the much-needed respect and nurturing of this great planet.

All of us can make modest changes to our lifestyles to be more environmentally friendly. Time is of the essence and hope you can stress this in your future articles. We must make immediate changes such as conversion to solar and wind energy, as well as electric vehicles. All of which is happening, but not at the pace necessary. Our children, grandkids and future generations depend on it.

I look forward to more articles addressing this important and urgent issue. Kudos for additional climate change coverage and how we can positively impact this issue in our daily lives. The time is now.
