I am marching because of my love of the outdoors. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I was instilled with a sense of pride for all of the beauty and fun that the outdoors gave to me. I spent my time playing in the forests of my hometown, fishing and crabbing at my Grandfather’s house on the Puget Sound and going up to the mountains to play in the snow. My hope is that my son will be able to enjoy the same simple pleasures that I was able to enjoy as a child and still enjoy as an adult. I feel that we must fight to preserve the land that provides us with memories, recreation and connection to something that is bigger than all of us. We must be good stewards of our planet and lessen our impact on it. We should be responsible about saving power and conscientious about carpooling and looking for alternative energy sources. Global warming is everyone’s problem, so let’s join together to stop it. — Cameron Cleeland
