Open Letter to Senator Joe Manchin, III

September 25, 2021 Doann Houghton-Alico 3

Surely you must realize that climate change and the impact of the coal and oil and gas industries are killing your voters, just as COVID-19 is, although the numbers for a specific time period may not be as dramatic, they are there. I believe you have a family that includes children and grandchildren, as I also do. Do you not care what kind of habitable world they will have to live in? Please take a look at your grandchildren and tell me you can’t support the necessary climate change and transitions needed for our and everyone else’s grandchildren to survive in a healthier world?
