We all connect. We find something we are passionate about and we connect to it. It could be fashion, sports, drama, art, writing, etc. These connections draw you closer to the object of your interest.

For me, this connection is the world. I wake up, step out of bed, and look outside. The apartment I live in is is built on the very ground we all call “home.”

To me, the environment, including: the trees, lakes, rivers, animals, mountains, and valleys, are interconnected with my life and who I am.

I want to protect them. I want to help them maintain as much of their natural shape, form, and movement, despite living in a world of production, destruction, and depletion.

I am passionate about the environment because it has given me ground to stand on, water to drink, warmth, energy, nutrients, oxygen, animals to enjoy, and so much more.

For something that has given me so much, I ask myself, what can I do in return?
