The heat is on
Dear editor:
As
a concerned student and member of the UMass-Amherst community, worries
about climate change and the environment are pressing in my life. That
is why I am so glad to see our state taking a positive step forward
with the Global Warming Solutions Act, filed by Senator Pacheco.
The
Global Warming Solution Act aims to have the Commonwealth reduce its
global warming emissions by 20 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050 -
which most scientists agree is necessary to prevent the worst impacts
of global warming.
I urge our state senators to use this
opportunity to help us keep our world safe and healthy by supporting a
strong Global Warming Solutions Act.
