It is easy to think of children when we think of balloons, but after reading the following piece of good news, we may only ever again think of one child.
Cameron Koporc, a Georgia nine-year-old who has already amassed quite an environmental résumé, has created a petition aimed at protecting endangered sea turtles by banning mass-balloon releases in her home state.

The story was uplifting, and I was honestly blown away by how much this girl has already done. I have no doubt she'll accomplish her goal of becoming a marine biologist. She's also a great example of the impact individuals can have when they decide to make something happen.
I applaud and thank Cameron for helping make dreams of a better tomorrow, not the balloons of today, take flight.
