Climate Change affects humans in a significant number of ways. One example is when we experience a drought, plants tend to die off, which means that they are able to catch fire easier than if they are alive. All it takes is one cigarette, one lightning strike, or one spark to create disaster. Wildfires affect humans in many ways, such as losing agriculture, which decreases our food supply, losing animals, which also decreases our food supply, losing housing, losing land, and losing jobs, which can lead to losing money. Some ways we could prevent wildfires in times of drought is to watch for people who throw cigarettes out of their vehicle windows while going down the road. That is littering, which is illegal. Another way we could prevent wildfires is to have trucks that go around spraying water in the yards once a week, or once every two weeks. This could prevent the grass from becoming extremely dead and easy to catch on fire. We could also have a burn ban while people drive around to catch people starting fires and charge them a hefty fine.
