3 Questions to get to know Madeleine
What does a sustainable future mean to you?
A sustainable future to me means that our environment can stay as a safe space for all
species to inhabit in the future. I hope to see a future where humans and the natural world can
coexist. This will likely look a little different, but I hope that this brings peace. I am very grateful
that my professional hours can be put to a meaningful purpose such as fighting climate change
What’s your favorite way to spend time outside?
Slow, but also fast! I thoroughly enjoy exercising outdoors and climbing mountains via
skis, bikes, or chairlifts; and then I love to go fast down the hill. However, my favorite way to be
outdoors is to move slowly and take it all in. The best part about going outside is that you will
always see something new, especially if you spend your time with animals. I am grateful for my
upbringing that allowed me to spend hours in the fields, trees, and snow just playing.
I strongly believe that if we can expose everyone to nature for even just a few minutes
every day, then they will see the importance in protecting the joys that nature can bring.
What’s a great book or podcast you’ve engaged with recently?
I have been enjoying Ethan Tapper’s “How to Love a Forest”. This book is written by a
local Vermonter who really explains his love for the woods, but also explains ways that you can
help in your own individual way. He explains that sometimes healthy human intervention is
actually helpful to keep nature wild and healthy – it is fascinating!
