Heather Meents
Kankakee, Illinois, United States
Lover of Humanity
I was raised on a small midwestern farm that was situated close enough to the city to expose me to a wide range of people while I was growing up. I love the outdoors, but I also love people. One of the things that my time in nature impressed upon me is the need for diversity. I found out that ecosystems with more diverse plant life have a better chance of survival amidst the various dangers. I can't help but think that we as people are better prepared for adversity when we embrace our diversity.
