Profile Information

About Me:
Being an "environmental youth" is a big part of who I am. To me that means feeling a deep connection to this beautiful planet we live on, caring like crazy about what happens to it and all the people I share it with, and always learning new things about how to put my ideals into action.

As a student in Environmental Studies at the University of Winnipeg, I learned a lot about environmental and social justice issues and how to organize for change. They gave me my degree in 2007 for all of the classes I went to but so much of what I learned came from my involvement in student groups.

I started out being involved in MEYN as Youth Cordinator at the Manitoba Eco-Network, from 2008-2011, where it was my job to help connect and support environmental youth groups in Manitoba through the Manitoba Environmental Youth Network. It was a lot of fun to work with many of the great young environmental activists in this province. Now I'm off to learn about sustainable food production through a farm internship and we'll see where that leads me!

Youth Action on Climate Change

Dec. 7 was an international day of action on climate change and while there were events taking place all across this country of ours, there was no sign of activity in Manitoba - up until the very last minute that is.



With less than a week's notice, a few of us from the youth network and our friends found ourselves in the food court of a busy mall, wearing Santa hats and nervously clearing our throats. When we launched into:



Oh, you better reduce your greenhouse… Continue
