The Most Important Question

Essay: Did You Hear The One About The Starfish?


Listen Later

This week:

Because I am a sap, I have been thinking about my kids a lot lately. And kids in general. They’re going to grow up and live in a world that’s very different from ours, and it’s important to me that they’re all as ready for that as they can be.

So this week: Did you hear about the starfish?

Here's What You Can Do:
  • Donate to Tobacco Free Kids to help fight against flavored e-cigarettes.
  • Volunteer with Mothers Out Front and come together to fight against climate injustice and for our children’s future.
  • Get educated about how to electrify your child’s school, making it cleaner, healthier, and climate-safe with these resources from Rewiring America.
  • Be heard about protecting children from pesticides and urge your representative to support the Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act.
  • Invest in a better world for kids and make sure your philanthropic dollars make a measurable difference with Impact Assets.
