Neighbors Helping Neighbors via COPE, Diaz Communications Production
Fire Season: Neighbors Helping Neighbors through COPE, is a realistic view of where we are and what we can do about it. How does wine country’s COPE (Communities Organized to Prepare for Emergencies) help with Global Warming? Not only in homes, but consider taking these practices to work with you, too. By educating all citizens to know what they can do to help slow down, and perhaps reverse, some global warming, we’re all contributing. Do you know that an educated society reversed the hole in the ozone? We CAN do this, too, but we must act! Listen and learn with the attached video, a third in a series, produced by Diaz Communications.
How this relates to wine country is that we all, whether it’s for our homes or places of business, we all have to get our thinking caps updated on a daily basis. Global warming is now affecting most everyone. There really is no time to waste in dialing back our current state of affairs.

Another reminder that “our Earth ain’t what she used to be,” was an article I just read with this headline, in The Atlantic. “America Could Be in for a Rough Fall, The weather is about to get even weirder,” By Lois Parshley. According to Parshley, “Such weather is a fitting end to a devastating season, the kind you run out of superlatives for. This summer, climate extremes suddenly seemed to be everywhere, all at once. It was the world’s hottest June since humans started keeping track. July was even worse. Phoenix—which averaged 102 degrees in July—got so hot that people received third-degree burns from touching doorknobs.”
