Removing fossil fuels from mass transit will go far in reducing that carbon footprint.

Paro, the young daydreamer at the center of a new short film by the same name, can’t help but see stories all around her.

Her creative passion draws her attention away from schoolwork, leading to a confrontation with her parents and her teacher, who confiscates Paro’s beloved journal.
