Committee Chair: Sienna Villalobos
Our E&E Committee is dedicated to spreading awareness of the growing environmental problems caused by the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation, as well as the chemical pollution caused by clothing production, plastic pollution, food waste, etc.
While these problems may seem too large to be within our control, our actions make a difference; they count. This committee strives to create projects that will inspire healthy lifestyles in our generation and remind our community that we have a huge responsibility in maintaining our environment and making our Earth a good place for all living beings.
