Nature and our environment mean a lot to me; if you feel the same way and haven't yet clicked on to CNN call to earth, I highly recommend checking it out.

In partnership with Rolex, CNN is committed to reporting on the environment challenges facing our planet, together with the solutions. Their goal is to drive awareness, action, and education around key issues, inspiring a blueprint for a more environmentally conscious life.
