Leo has loved camping, the ocean, and every aspect of nature since they were very little. But they didn't realize until they were eight that climate change is threatening the environment.

Leo frequently visits the Oregon coast, where they enjoy bodysurfing, playing on the beach, tidepooling, harvesting seaweed, and hunting mushrooms. Increased surface and ocean temperatures, sea level rise, and ocean acidification caused by climate change threaten Leo’s future ability to enjoy these activities, which are important aspects of their childhood. 

Unfortunately, information about the disastrous effects of climate change wasn't taught in their school, so Leo started trying to educate people about the harmful effects of climate change. "And I believed in this cause. We have hope, and we have the power to change."
