Transcription: 
Hi my name is Kelly and I'm a mom. Actually my kids call me the Eco-Mom because I care a lot about the environment. And I would say I'm an environmental activist. I was raised in Colorado under the blue skies and I live on the west coast next to the blue ocean. And I like to spend my time surfing, skiing, doing anything I can in nature, connecting to nature and ultimately protecting nature because I feel that's my calling.
