ALT A home mostly submberged under water. Text on image: Long Island is sinking. Why?”

ALT A flooded street. Text on image: “Earth's warming due to the burning of fossil fuels that traps heat, causing glaciers to melt and oceans to expand, raising sea levels. Long Island, already flat and low-lying with sinking land, faces a double threat from rising seas and stronger storms with increased rainfall, making what were once rare coastal events much more frequent. What can we do? Reduce your carbon footprint by using less energy, eating local, and embracing “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Plant trees and other vegetation around your home to absorb carbon dioxide and rainwater. Prepare for storms by keeping storm drains clear. Advocate for policies that support renewable energy and sustainable practices. Lend a hand in beach cleanups and restoration projects to maintain our shores.”
