We love our student Fellows!! They keep us inspired and push the Zero Waste Movement forward ??
Biology major at Cal Poly Humboldt, sustainability nerd, and dog/snake/frog mom, professional photographer!
I am so grateful for my time working as a Zero Waste Fellow with PLAN: The Post-Landfill Action Network this past year. It has been an amazing experience that taught me so much about what it means to work in the sustainability field. I knew my position was a year-long contract, but it really is hard to leave! Everyone I met through this organization was passionate, supportive, and inspiring. They made me want to continue educating myself and become a better advocate for sustainability. Thank you to everyone who made this opportunity possible. I look forward to continuing my work in sustainability next year!
