emmapastor··on If we cannot stop climate change in time, how to mitigate the effects?
More regulations need to be put on industries that emit high levels of carbon, such as the meat and dairy industry. Additionally, I think it is important that us as global citizens take responsibility and take action to mitigate the consequences of climate change. Our government needs to promote alternate forms of energy, such as solar, geothermic, and oceanic sources. There will be consequences for the many years where climate change and protecting the environment were not a priority, but now we have to make it a priority.

emmapastor··on Turn on the Subtitles
One of the best things my parents did for me as a child was read to me and also teach me to reach on my own at a very young age. Now, I feel as if no one wants to read anything. My professors always joke about how college students do not read any books unless its absolutely necessary, which is upsetting.
emmapastor··on People less likely to adhere to Covid rules after vaccination
It's interesting to read about the response to the vaccine in the UK, as I live in the United States. I believe that an even higher percentage of people in the US will become complacent once they are vaccinated, but hopefully, there will be an end to all this soon.
