“I want my seven-year-old boy to be able to find places where you can still smell fresh, clean natural smells. I don't want him to have to wear SPF 1000 sun block just to leave the house. I want us to find renewable resources and do more than put lip-service to using them. We need to make the term "endangered species" obsolete. Solar, wind, and even nuclear need to more and more replace oil and coal.”
