Out for a casual stroll or something a tad more invigorating? Maybe there’s an urge to experience an afternoon nature walk?

Despite the polarizing political sphere in today’s world, climate change is a unique issue on which many people agree that something must be done. However, a significant divergence in approach becomes apparent as we discuss possible solutions to the looming effects of climate change.
