Hot Topic #164:

The official last day of summer is September 22nd, but most kids have already gone back to school.

Do you think of September as the beginning of fall? Or the end of summer?
Towns across the country reported record-high temperatures last month and expect record-low temperatures this winter.

These dramatic new weather patterns impact our bodies, how farmers grow food, and how we experience each season.

How has the new dramatic weather impacted your life?

  • My heating & cooling bills are higher
  • Buying in-season produce is more expensive
  • There are less days when I want to spend time outdoors
  • I've considered moving because the weather makes it harder to live here

Thank you for sharing!
