This summer seems to be getting off to a warm start. Today is very sunny and bright as I write this now. It appears to be getting warmer every year, actually. This may be due to global warming. In fact, some areas must grow different varieties of food than they are used to growing. This means that food varieties might be changing slowly, year by year. Hokkaido as well is growing several different varieties of rice than they used to. Other areas are facing problems with global warming as well. These problems may catch up with humanity. What can we do to avoid the problems associated with global warming?
With the encroachment of warmer temperatures reaching further and further north, the earth may be changing before our eyes. Summers seem to be getting warmer, there are more storms, and the weather is very strange. This year the rainy season started off as usual, but we are still having rain, and are getting warnings of heavy rains. When I first came to Japan, we had a rainy season in June, and then it would stop and the weather would turn clear and hot. Now, the weather forecasting is predicting more rain this week.
However, we can still take care of the problems of global warming by being aware and using less garbage, turning of lights more, using less water, and being generally careful of the environment. Let's see what we can do!
