Global Warming. We’ve all heard of it, but many of us haven’t experienced it, or at least not that you may know of. But, every day, you suffer the effects, and every day, you make it worse. It’s the honest truth. But it is possible to make a change.

If you are reading this, then you are most likely a customer of Pinwheel Coffee. If you didn’t know, the coffee industry is susceptible to harm from global warming. Results of the warming in the mountains of Columbia are causing farmers to experience coffee shortages. If you want to keep enjoying your daily coffee, then these solutions can help.

In December and January of 2020-2021, students from Embark Education worked together to develop a website filled with information about climate change, ways you can help, and even an audit you can do to help lower your carbon footprint. We made this site for you and your household, and it is an easy way to truly understand your impact. 

The website is composed of several different sections, including a facts page, an audit page, and a solutions page. You can use all of this information to learn more about your impact on the environment, as well as how you can change. It is completely free, which means that this is open to everyone to use, even kids. 

We at Embark Education want to truly make a difference in the lives of everyone in our community. By using the information on our website, you will help not only yourself but also the world. The climate crisis is here, and we don’t have much time before we can’t stop it anymore. 

Sincerely,

The Pinwheel Post Editorial Team
