Richard A Kimball

Berkeley, CA

My name is Richard A. Kimball, a native of the beautiful, sunny California. Growing up, I considered my hometown a paradise because of the breathtaking scenery, the perfect weather, and the warm people. But with the turn of the century, drastic changes in the climate are evident. My paradise is now turning into a place I could no longer recognize; we are experiencing more intense storms and longer periods of drought than usual. Global warming is here and it looks like it’s here to stay. But certainly we can still do something to increase awareness and mitigate its impacts on humanity. Through the power of words, I hope to strike a flare in the minds of people to take action and make this planet more sustainable, especially for the next generation.
