MARLBORO-Covid showed us how to combat global warming and climate change. Remember the photos of clear skies over India and clean water in Venice after the shutdown? It was like a miracle.
But it was drastic human action that did it.
We can do it again and save ourselves and the planet.
It will take careful planning and reordering our lives. Can we live without global trade? I hope we can find a way.
