As a mostly full-time environmentalist - for about a decade and a half now - in my efforts I have focused on the threats to human health, and the human prospect;

Climate change.
Mercury in flesh.
Phthalates, bisphenol A, and other plastic/chemical gambles with every child's destiny, via the endocrine system.

These are increasingly urgent problems. The list goes on and on, and sometimes it all seems overwhelming to many of us; Ocean acidification and oceanic dead zones flicker through newscasts. The disintegration of the life-support systems we depend on continues to accelerate.

The encouraging perspective would only fit after the flip:

How about $25,000.00 to help kids help fight climate change? $0 from you, all you would have to do is vote online.

For my part, I wager that each and every one of the women in this story is equally deserving of the award.

I admittedly have a favorite however, Tara is a friend of mine from way back, and 'her' organization is all about re-forestation and empowering a huge youth group in the fight against climate change.

If I understand this correctly, if she wins the 'vote,' her group stands to collect 25,000 towards their efforts.

Take a positive break and click over to check it out? Are you in? Every one of the women listed there will impress you. Whether or not you vote for Tara, you will be glad you knew about each of them.  at;  http://www.womenofworth.com/...

P.S. Tara for Prez.
