Maria says "I address eco-grief, a term coined by Jane Goodall in her book "Hope". Often we feel like climate change is a giant problem so what can one person do to change our direction? As Jane Goodall says "any bit counts'. I am inspired by Jane Goodall, Greta Thunberg and Vandana Shive. Environmental justice is social justice and black and brown girls and women are paving the way to empower climate solutions."
