Prominent people in my family.

While some of us deal with such mundane things as looking for a better job, thinking of ways to reduce our mortgage payments, or finding a nanny for our kids, my uncle Toomas Trapido from Estonia helps birds recover from oil spills in the Baltic Sea. Toomas has held various positions in the Estonian Fund for Nature in the past couple of years, and is a dedicated activist for a greener environment.
