I'd rather the organic garden at which I interned last summer--it provides fresh produce for local hunger-relief efforts--doesn't become ocean floor anytime soon. The effects of climate change are already apparent, though: a decrease in the honeybee population, more drastic weather patterns that make farming harder, and a proliferation of poison ivy due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The photo is of me and fellow intern Diane Lee in front of a bed of bush beans.
