What I Learned from My Hurricane Ida Experience
I was impacted by Hurricane Ida. I live with my family in New Jersey, which is on the East Coast. Because of its location, New Jersey is rarely directly hit by hurricanes though a few have made their presence known in the past[i]. In 2015, Hurricane Patricia visited with heavy rain and winds that felled trees and caused power outages and flooding across the state. Between 2016 and 2019, the remnants of various hurricanes caused similar minor damages in the State. In 2020, however, some deaths were recorded as a result of Hurricane Fay.

The Birch Tree
Growing up, a birch tree stood tall in my front yard. It had beautiful white bark and was covered in these clusters of tiny little flowers. In autumn, the leaves would turn yellow, overwhelming our house with color. My sisters and I would rake the leaves into a big pile to jump in and throw at each other, only to re-rake again. On the sturdiest of branches, my dad attached a little turquoise swing with yellow ropes and pushed us as high as it could go. I loved the tummy drop the swing gave me. After the leaves disintegrated and the snow started to fall, the white bark would hold snowflakes; the serenity of winter. This birch tree was my absolute favorite tree. It holds some of my first memories.

Koonin sees that such a case has inadequately adjusted both public and strategy talks on issues identified with "energy, ozone harming substance discharges, and the climate" (Koonin). Furthermore, it has additionally influenced any significant logic and strategy talk about the fate of environmental change.
