Why does protecting the environment matter to you?
Protecting the environment to me is looking straight into nature’s eyes and acknowledging we are one with it. Swimming in the ocean, hiking through a forest, or laying down on my back staring at the stars makes me feel like I am home; like I belong and like there is a higher purpose to what I do (no matter what I do). For a few seconds, time seems to stop, and life just simply makes sense. No schedules, no screens, no cell-phones, no social media, no noise. Protecting the environment is doing whatever is needed to maintain that connection with the only planet we have, with the universe itself. It is a responsibility, as humans, to eliminate our waste and care for the environment and all the living creatures (us included) that live in our planet, Earth. “I have a little different definition of evil than most people. When you have the opportunity and the ability to do good and you do nothing, that’s evil. Evil doesn’t always have to be an overt act, it can be merely the absence of good.” ― Yvon Chouinard, founder and owner of PatagoniaJuan Rios

Why does protecting the environment matter to you?
Protecting the environment means having a better world for future generations. We only have one planet, and must protect it at all costs if we want our kids to have something to enjoy. We take from it and it is our responsibility to give back. Sometimes it’s complicated to do, but we must take the extra step to be responsible and keep everyone accountable.
