“There have been a lot of changes in the environment over the years. A few plant species that we were not able to grow here earlier are now being cultivated. These changes have made a major impact on our lives.
It used to be impossible for us to step out of the house during the winter months due to the snow. We could not travel from one place to another, as the roads would get blocked with snow. But now, due to the rise in temperature and decrease in snowfall, the roads are always open and even if they do close, it is only for a few days.” |
