Part of the problem may be that Latinos generally don’t think of the environment as a bread and butter issue. But it’s this kind of thinking that is hurting our community. That’s why Latinos should use the momentum of Hispanic Heritage Month to begin galvanizing around an issue that’s truly central to the health of the community””global warming.”
