“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”
– William Arthur Ward, American Writer.
It’s hard to be what you can’t see. In fact, it can be an impossibly lonely road when you feel like you are forging ahead with no one helping to clear a path in front of you. That’s why we identify role models or heroes who help point us in the right direction and who we can look to in moments of discontent.
From teachers and friends to world-famous activists and established leaders, there are influencers everywhere. Every bold person who questions the status quo and works to shift the paradigm, can be a guide and help you recognize your power!
Today, we’re talking about a specific role model. Someone who stands up to protect our planet’s natural resources and all living species. Someone who understands that humans do not dominate nature, but are an integral part of the environment. Someone who hopes to pass on a healthy and thriving planet to their children and grandchildren. That’s right, today is about the eco-heroes among us.
We read about people everyday that are standing up in solidarity with our planet and against climate change, like Paul Hawken who wrote the New York Times Best Seller Drawdown, or Turning Green co-founder Erin Schrode who is currently doing humanitarian work in Puerto Rico with World Central Kitchen, or Friends of the Earth which offers policy analysis and advocacy campaigns for environmental progress.
What does it take to make a change? Passion, dedication, and a little bit of courage – that’s it!
So, who’s someone that you look up to? Today, we give you an opportunity to discover different people who are setting the stage and forging new paths toward a healthy, sustainable, and just planet. At any given moment we are all asked to be extraordinary, and with that comes responsibility to ourselves and to all humanity. Who’s your Eco-hero?
Inspiration doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it shouldn’t be! There are students on your campus and people in your community who are actively changing the world. Take a minute to think about who they might be and what work they are contributing.

Do you see yourself as a hero? We do! Sometimes we’re reluctant to acknowledge just how awesome we, ourselves, are. If our task and our responsibility to future generations is to create a healthy, just and thriving planet, we need leaders that have confidence in themselves and others, to move us forward. What can you start today, at this very moment, to be involved in developing a solution to a challenge you see in front of you?
Over this past month, you have learned about many themes related to everyday life. You have learned that you have the power to change the world, step by step. (what else can we add about what they learned… power of 1? Collective action?) The time has come for you to identify an issue or cause, that you feel passionate about, one that will prompt you to take action to be that change.
