Save the Planet

In the Houston Chronicle editorial, “Save the Planet, Gov. Abbott. What’s The Worst That Can Happen,” the Editorial Board explains about climate change that is happening around the world and what can be improved. Throughout the country, our politicians have deemed the issue as radioactive.

This article is very much intended for people who are eco-friendly and who are “save the planet” enthusiasts. Oh and the ones who already despise our govenor, Gregg Abbott. If you didn’t or had no clue about what is going on in our world, this will steer a new direction, in my opinion. 

The editorial board grants credibility by including proof about Texas universities such as A&M, Rice and UT writing letters to the governor about ideas and information about how to help even though he never responded. Also providing facts about the temperature rising and how the death rates are slowly rising due to this.

They also prove how republicans in Washington state, Republicans are contacting Democratics to work together and create solutions about bipartism climate change. Even politicians such as John McCain and John Baker have called for aggression to fix these issues. By claiming how climate change is real, future generations will read about how a Texas Governor has the chance to team up with students to help make a change and how he would rather not respond.

In my opinion, this is a good article to raise awareness about what is going on in the nation but also our state. Though Abbott may not be in my favor, this doesn’t help put him in a good spot also.

The Future for LGBTQ

As 2019 is continuing, changes is constantly happening. In an Austin Chronicle article titled, "State of LGBTQ Chambers Form First-Of-Its-Kind Alliance," gives a brief detail about how they, Texas LGBTQ Chambers of Commerce, are going to represent many LGBTQ friendly alliances statewide. As it is early on in the year, plans are being made and set in stone such as Advocacy Day on February 20th at the capitol. This could help make Texas a more friendly state and cut down on discrimination. They are considered an economic organization, so they will think economically as well.

This is well worthy read to know about what new ideas and organization will make an appearance in our state. Since it is covering some of our biggest cities, others can be as acceptable as you can say Austin is considered. This is a great move for us as a State.
