My son Nikolai has decided to join the fight against arctic drilling.

Inspired by Greenpeace’s Lego video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhbliUq0_r4), he’s researching the issue and will present to his class — with hopes that his class rep will present to the whole school “and maybe even all New Haven Schools will get involved.”

Ambitious sure. But who am I to dial back his enthusiasm? After all, 2 years ago, CleanBirth.org was just an idea and now 500+ of you have joined our mission.

Here are the people whose lives are saved by your $5.
