For those of you who do not know already, this year has been a journey of learning and becoming aware. This journey began years ago, when my adopted Dad went on an expedition and came back trying to educate people, including his bosses at Shell, as to what damage the oil industry was causing to the Continental Shelf. This harm would not be stopped or slowed until change was brought about. Little did I know how close to home this would hit for me.
