Earth Day 2021: Passing on a Cleaner World
Apr 19, 2021
MIDWAY, Utah, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Preserving the beauty and wonder of our natural world for future generations should certainly be a goal everyone can get behind. While progress is often stymied by polarizing debates, clean air and water should be a priority for everyone.
"We all want to pass on a clean and healthy world," says Bill Pekny author of A Tale of Two Climates: One Real, One Imaginary (Two Climates LLC, 2020, ISBN: 978-1-73493-960-6, $34.59). "But the science is confusing to the average person, and it can be easy to get lost in the details. Meanwhile, instead of focusing on the fruit closest to the ground we waste our energy trying to convince 'the other side' to see things our way."
Pekny, who holds M.S. and B.S. degrees from Georgia Tech and DePaul and spent more than 50 years as a scientist in the U.S. Armed Forces and aerospace industry, wants to help demystify the science and help people understand what they can do to help. He says we should focus on combatting pollution in meaningful ways that are right in front of us instead of getting lost in debate that often just produces gridlock.
"Small, incremental changes can get us moving toward bigger changes in the future," he says. "People will start seeing the benefits right away. These little victories can generate some real momentum and get people excited about working toward a cleaner world."
With that in mind, here are five ways to fight pollution that we can all get behind. Pekny offers these ideas that could pack a big punch in our quest for clean air and water.
"The natural beauty of our planet is incredible," says Pekny. "My hope is that everyone will gain and enjoy a greater understanding of how we can work together to preserve this natural beauty for future generations."
