As my good friend Kermit once said, “It ain’t easy being green.” My wish for the environment for 2016: that it gets a little easier.

My wish for 2016 (and beyond) is that we can act as a global community to address climate change. I’m very hopeful this will be the year we can commit to meaningful targets for greenhouse gas reductions.
