    The plan for the rest of the year is to spend more time out in nature. Pick up more trash. Use less products. Be more self sustainable.

    Educator Stephanie Kaza advises her students to focus on what they care about most when addressing the enormity of ecological problems. Is there a specific area you feel particularly called to work on?
