 Not everyone is going to agree with you and that's okay. Sometimes you learn more from people that don't agree with you. My name is Laura O'Donoghue and I am the founder and CEO of Snow Hill Organic Farm, an agricultural farm located in North Salem, New York. We have two issues right now. We have the environmental issue of food waste, and we have the social justice issue of food insecurity. What is really interesting to me is how few people understand that when they throw away food, they're actually creating methane gas emissions. What most consumers, retailers don't understand is that the printed date label does not mean the food has expired. One of the things I love about teaching at my own farm is explaining to the kids what peak freshness really means. And I will tell you something, their eyes light up when they see my chart and they find out their beloved ice cream is not going to expire on the date on the carton, but actually has two to four additional weeks. Every time a market, a consumer throws away food, it could be sent to a pantry, be repurposed, we can find good uses for unused food. Sustainability starts within and it starts with the individual. Leadership has to come from a passion and a purpose. If you are not exemplifying everything you believe in, then the words fall flat. I also believe if your purpose, if your North Star is to save this planet, it's important to do it positively. We all have to work together to make sure that our habitat is maintained. Well, my first advice is to stay true to your purpose. And remember that not everyone is going to agree with you and that's okay. Sometimes you learn more from people that don't agree with you. So don't give up because if it's about climate change, if it's about sustainability, it is so important that you maintain and keep focused and positive because we need all the tools in the toolbox to start making change. And so my advice would be please don't give up. Don't hang up your hat and say I tried. The better mantra is I'm going to keep trying and I'm going to continue to try to affect change because it's important now more than ever. I am an alumni member proudly of the diploma program and what CISL provided was a platform to research and commit to my passion, which is growing food and learning more about how that data and research can help tell a story. So what CISL has provided is the platform to dig deeper into different decisions and different opportunities that I have to make change.
