During the year 2020 a clock was constructed in New York City that is counting down to to the ideal deadline for reaching zero emissions. This countdown is called the Climate Clock and it serves as a source of motivation for people to work toward a safe climate future. I’ve seen many predictions that project the dangers of further rise in the earth’s climate. This is important to me because I fear that within my life time the condition of Earth’s environment will become critical and begin to set off a negative chain of events that will make life difficult for all people.
I admire The League of Women Voters for their safeguarding fossil fuels. The League’s environmental goals aim to prevent ecological degradation and to reduce and control pollutants before they go down the sewer, up the chimney or into the landfill. I believe they could use the Climate Clock as an icon to their environmental campaign showcasing the harmful effects of impending environmental damages.
