In love with all of the women featured in this @Vogue spread who are fighting for action on climate change. We couldn’t say it better than the author of the piece, Cameron Russell, did on her Instagram:

“Why am I telling you all this? What can we do about any of it? You can join us in celebrating the women leading the world to a safer brighter sustainable future. Together we can make them famous. Before you laugh, think about this: the women who are fighting for our future are doing so in relative obscurity. Relative to say the lovely Kendall Jenner’s 65 million followers, @CFigueres, the head of the UNFCCC, the woman in charge of getting 196 nations to agree, has only 69 thousand. So if we follow, share, and fangirl these 13 kickass women fighting to save the world we can help make sure they get there. And trust us, you don’t want to miss out on their next move.”

Are you following the climate change conversations happening in Paris? I hope so. It’s a big deal. I feel responsible, and I hope you can share some of that responsibility with me, and these groundbreaking leaders. 

This is a marvelous and unfathomable world we live in, with incredible diversity. The human race has so much potential for good. Let’s do more good.
