In my opinion, protecting this planet is similar to taking care of the elderly, they were there for us so we should be there for them.

I want to tell you a story.

It all began when I went to visit my close friend Killian (who you will get to know more) in his hometown of Seattle. We both love solving problems and every time we meet up we always go back and forth discussing a seemingly endless number of ideas that pop into our head. That being said, I knew this trip was going to be full of brainstorming, deep conversation, never ending laughter, and history (one of his many passions).

It was a wet, rainy, and a bit gloomy day, but since the moment I landed we were set on getting outside. At around 2 we parked the car near this mallard filled pond and set off on a mini hike in Seward Park — 300 acres of old-growth forest in the south-east corner of the city. The trail we chose was damp, but also serene, mystical, and truly beautiful. Walking over fallen trees that contain hundreds of years of stories and memories in their trunks and rubbing against bright green moss that captured every droplet of water we began discussing a number of different topics, ranging from our confusion with certain policies to our current jobs to the difficulty of changing human behavior, but it eventually became clear that our concerns about the world were focused around one issue: the climate. Our planet and the people who are already seeing the tolls of climate change need help. Long story short, we left that park with a plan.
