Environmental Ideas, Six Words at a Time
By Jessica Orquina
It’s been three weeks since we launched Six Words for the Planet with SMITH Magazine and I’ve been delighted how many people shared their stories. I’ve enjoyed reading the thoughtful and creative six-word essays you’ve shared. Here are two of my favorites so far:

Jessica you have shared some nice articles from SMITH’s Mag. I didn’t read it that you are sharing it from other authors I thought both of them were of yours, published there!
