Climate Hero: Paula Rogovin

I am sure that there are a lot of people who feel as if they do not have the power to make a difference in this climate world. Therefore, I hope to inspire others through this documentary that highlights activist Paula Rogovin, by showing that anyone can take action. When I first heard stories about Paula, I was intrigued and wanted to hear more. After getting to know her, I chose to create a documentary to display her liveliness and enthusiasm to the world. She is not only ambitious and kind, but she spreads these positive traits to others in hopes to better our planet and empower others, specifically our future generation. Getting to know Paula has brought me more hope for the state of our planet, opened my eyes to the beauty of believing in everyone, and taught me that it is the collective smaller steps that ultimately lead to a better future. There are so many unheard stories and everyday heroes; I believe it is greatly important to recognize and honor their achievements and efforts, and to hopefully encourage others through those stories as well! We are all capable of change.
