Why the environment is important to me:

The environment is important to me not only as an athlete, but as a living, breathing person on this earth. The quality of life on our planet is in a state of devasting disrepair. It is my duty as a citizen of this planet to treat it with tender loving care. I have an obligation to minimize my contribution to it's demise by taking a proactive stand against over consumption and being a part of the group that strives to educate and encourage people to adopt a healthier and more active alternative lifestyle.

Why am I a Clean Air Champion?

We are single-handedly destroying the quality of our lives on this blessed planet by our over-consumptive behaviour. If we don’t take active steps to take on healthier more proactive lifestyles, we will destroy the greatest creation known to man... our planet.
