Wednesday, April 25th, C.C. Winn High School raised awareness about the dangers of Global Warming in continuation of Earth Week.
The student body and staff wore RED to raise awareness of this serious social problem plaguing our Earth.
Global warming is an increase in the Earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.
Although there are many critics that feel global warming does not exist, the recent weather changes in our hometown of Eagle Pass- snow in December- should be proof enough that it DOES EXIST!
