Keep Cali Habitable 

California is dealing with so much climate change that there’s many problems going on. To it being super cold,hot,windy and rainy climate is just bipolar at times.The one climate change were dealing with is that its super dry, it’s hot in california that we don’t get as much rain so we are in a drought. 

The one problem with dry climate is that it’s easy for fires to start up and not only that but we get into a drought since it’s so hot, california gets super dry and since there’s no rain at all to leave moisture it’s easy for any little spark to start a big fire. One example is a fire we had on October 9, 2017 around 9:45am at The Canyon fire near Anaheim Hills which burned 9,217 acres.The species being affected are birds, squirrels,chipmunks,insects and even us humans.

There isn’t anything stopping this, there’s nothing society can do much. I mean yeah we can respond super quick when fires break out or find a technique that we’ll have ready when a big fire starts but that’s the thing. Its natural weather, everything happens naturally. We don’t notice the fire sometimes until we start seeing the sky turn all gloomy and starts smelling burnt. Some fires start simply because it’s too hot in the environment that simply two rocks crashing against each other can cause a spark and start a whole fire burning thousands of land, homes, property that someone has had for years. I don’t know what we can really do to prevent this, we can’t magically make it rain when we need it and we can’t always prevent these fires but the only thing we can do is think about what your doing. Starting a fire is risky especially if you don’t know how to control one or even be around it. We need to put out the last bits of heat when we go camping or just don’t start fires near dry areas, near hills, nowhere near a place that can easily catch fire. The only thing we can truly do is pray that another fire does not start because we know so much land is being burned, so many things that have been around longer than us being wiped out in a few hours. Take a few minutes out of your life to check if the fire is out because if not those few minutes you didn’t bother to check, could start a fire that can last hours and burn more than what it could have in the beginning. 

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
