Environmental Articles The articles by Michael Pollan ("Why Bother?") and Anna Lappe ("The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork") are both focused on providing well-defined information about reducing individuals' carbon footprints as the climate continues to heat up. They are both centered on issues related to the warming of the planet and on wise responses that can be made in light of that threat. And both articles, while quite different in focus and in tone, embrace the idea of reducing one's carbon footprint by changing food habits. Why are these articles valuable? There are elected representatives and high-visibility media personalities that have been carrying on a constant negative attack against those who believe in and are responding responsibly to global warming. To deny what is happening is to be ignorant about science, but those campaigning against global climate change are in fact having an impact on public opinion. So the truth about what an individual can and should do to lesson his or her carbon footprint is vitally important. Both of these authors present believable and practical advice regarding climate change and what people can do in their own homes and communities. This paper will discuss the salient ideas presented in both articles and how those ideas are both similar in message and practical in substance.

The heat trapping property of these gases is undisputed. The dramatic increase in global temperatures over the past century is unprecedented in the history of the planet.
