Letter | A glimpse of how humans impact the planet - Santa Cruz Sentinel

First, thanks to Ms. Harker about closing West Cliff Drive. Let’s close at least one lane. Today West Cliff was car busy in both lanes with lots of pollution and noise. Second, thanks to Ms. Yorba, regarding leaf blowers—even more pollution and noise! So please Santa Cruz City Council, take note of both.

Lastly, thanks to Stephen Kessler’s commentary. In my heart and mind, I agree with him. Mankind’s footprint is overwhelming on this planet and we’re glimpsing just a little of how social distancing and staying home has cleared up the air and decreased noise levels, among other positives.

We need to rethink what our impact has been, including overpopulation.

— Donna Hall, Santa Cruz
