Today I recognize that I am part of one of the most powerful countries in the world. My population is only a fraction of the globe’s population, yet we use far more resources. So today, I pledge to take responsibility for me lifestyle.
Severn is an amazing young woman who has committed her life to the environment. I hope my own children will follow in her footsteps.
