Prevent child heatstroke deaths. A child can die from heatstroke in minutes. From NHTSA: A sweltering heat wave is affecting millions of Americans this week. 🔥🌡️ Protect yourself and your child in the back seat! It's NEVER safe to leave them alone in a vehicle. This is how quickly a car heats up.

A chart showing how quickly a car can heat up. Outside temperature is 90 degrees a car can reach 109 degrees in 10 minutes, 124 degrees in 30 minutes, and 133 degrees in 60 minutes. If the outside temperature is 100 degrees, a car can reach 119 degrees in 10 minutes, 134 degrees in 30 minutes, and 143 degrees in 60 minutes.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

"I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me ... and my blood is part of the sea. There is not any part of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surfaces of the water." ~ D.H. Lawrence

"There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan
