On a sunny and crisp spring morning, Petaluma resident Natasha Juliana gazes out her window at the tall redwood trees and the green hills beyond, taking another moment to appreciate the wonderful nature her town has to offer.

But for environmentalists like Juliana, climate change – with its threat of increasingly intense floods, fires and other natural disasters – can hover like smoke over any pretty scene, inspiring her to do more to secure a brighter future.

“I’m also a mother of an 18-year-old and I want her to be excited about her future and not afraid for her future,” Juliana said. “So I feel like it's my parental duty to do as much as I can to make sure that the worst case scenarios don’t come true.”
