LIMA The League of Women Voters of the Lima Area continued its discussion on climate change during a virtual presentation Monday night.
Michael Wildermuth who serves in the environmental division of Allen County Public Health was one of the presenters and spoke as an individual about the problem and not in the capacity of his employer.
“The league believes that climate change is a serious threat facing our nation and our planet, of course, that’s why we’re having our second meeting tonight. They (the league) believe that you can combat climate change through energy conservation, air pollution controls, building resilience and promotion of renewable resources,” Wildermuth says.
