Why AWARE? Over the years, AWARE has done incredible work to protect the ecosystems that sustain us and to give nature a voice in how we live and work. As the impacts of climate change become increasingly visible, AWARE plays an important role in helping people and businesses make small, practical changes that add up to something meaningful. I feel incredibly lucky to live somewhere with such easy access to the natural world, and working with AWARE feels like a way to help protect that access for generations to come.

Why Nature? Spending time in the mountains, forests, or by water has always been deeply grounding for me. Nature has a way of reminding me that I’m part of something much bigger, and that we’re deeply connected to the world around us—through the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and often our livelihoods. In a modern world, it’s easy to forget that connection. Being in nature encourages us to slow down, pay attention, and treat our surroundings with care and respect.
