Ever since I can remember, my father Paul has been on the ground - protesting and fighting for environmental justice in Lebanon.
He has been doing so since 1988, when he quit law school, baffled by how little attention Lebanese society gave to the environment. In 1995, he founded TERRE Liban, a grassroots organization dedicated to environmental protection, and he has never stopped. In the process, he raised my sister and I with the same deep love for nature that drives him.
*They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'm 18 now, with that same drive for environmental justice - but instead of law, I'm studying political science. *
