We can all step "1 foot
forward" to create a
more sustainable world.

Slowly, with small steps,
we can make change happen.

Inspiration

My name is Maya. I'm 10 years old.

I hear adults argue about how hard it is to improve our climate and make our community more sustainable.

What I don't understand is why more people don't take small daily steps to make progress.

I say kids should organize! We can take small steps and work together to make our world and community a greener place to live.

That's why I started my project: 1footfwd

My focus right now is selling 1-square-foot wildflower kits. Look at the photos above to see examples.

But, my project has bigger aims. I'm actually selling the idea that kids can take action today for a greener community.

If your parents want a perfect green lawn, maybe they'll let you plant a single foot of flowers in your yard.

If you have a street tree, you could plant a 1 foot garden underneath it.

It's your choice whether, when and how you move one foot forward. I'm sharing one easy way.

I'm also hoping to share my idea around town to find partners and ways to turn this idea into action.

If I reach out to you, I hope you'll say yes to helping me move one foot forward.
