Featured Green Child #5

Lauren Hauck is our first featured poet. We hope her poem will inspire you towards a greener world!

There is nothing more beautiful Than the world outside our door There is nothing more wonderful Than things obscured before. Take a look outside your door We are the future, we are the past But if we don’t preserve it Our world won’t last. Go green Go great You’ll know what I mean When you feel the difference That it makes going green.

Hometown: Los Angeles, California. What do you care about? “I care about environmental awareness, people in war-torn and poverty stricken countries. I believe that anyone can make a difference no matter what; we can’t give up hope that easily.” What do you want to do in the future? “I would like to travel to Africa and Asia and learn how I can help there. I have been given so much, and I believe I should pay it forward to all the people who don’t have as much as me.” “I don’t care who you are; if you’re poor, rich, tall, short, it doesn’t matter. Just tell someone what they can do to help. Not everyone is made to save the world, or spend a fortune in a foreign country…Plant a tree, tell someone about an event in the world, everyone can help in their own tiny way.”
