Meghan and Harry become the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
I’ve been thinking about how Harry and
Meghan met and how they fell in love for their mutual passion to do good in the
world. I thought about my own passion for preserving our planet and the living
creatures on it. Some of you may already know my number one hero is Jane
Goodall. She, too is fighting to save our planet and defend the wild things
that live on it. I want to follow her example and do what I can to make Earth a
peaceful, harmonious place where all living things can thrive and be happy.
Dr. Jane Goodall
Dr. Goodall stopped eating meat when she realized the pain and suffering of animals that lived a life of misery before they were slaughtered for food. While I don’t believe I can give up dairy products and eggs yet, I believe I want to become vegetarian. I may not be able to accomplish my goal, but I do want to put some effort into changing my life for the betterment of the planet.

I use reusable bags when I shop and I no longer use straws and other plastics as much as I can. The worst is Styrofoam and it’s hard to avoid because of take-out and eggs and it’s still used to pack certain electronics and such. Still, I can write to companies and ask them to find other reusable or biodegradable materials to pack items.
Meghan, now Duchess of Sussex, wrote a single letter to a company about their sexist advertisement and that company changed that advertisement. Meghan was just twelve years old when she wrote that letter, but what an inspiration for us that she got them to make a change. In my life, I do what I can as well. I detest cruelty and so I sign petitions, write comments to lawmakers and companies to change their policies. While I realize my impact alone may not bring about a change, I can join others and we can fight together for change.
What are you passionate about? What do you do to fight for change?
