    Erik Hagstrom\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>

    Erik se inspir\u00f3 de ni\u00f1o a aprender sobre la gesti\u00f3n ambiental despu\u00e9s de ver c\u00f3mo los espacios naturales del \u00c1rea de la Bah\u00eda se ve\u00edan afectados por la expansi\u00f3n urbana. Reconoci\u00f3 desde temprano el poder de una persona para movilizar a otras, y ve su trabajo ambiental como una forma de servicio para las comunidades de todo el mundo.<\/p>

    Entiende que el fracaso es una oportunidad de crecimiento y acoge c\u00f3mo la acci\u00f3n colectiva y el trabajo en equipo pueden convertir los contratiempos en lecciones compartidas, construyendo conocimiento y mejorando los resultados para todos los involucrados. Sus esfuerzos han ayudado a conseguir financiaci\u00f3n y vivienda para j\u00f3venes en acogida, el la recuperaci\u00f3n de 3,6 millones de libras de alimentos y la primera ordenanza de uso del suelo de este tipo, que aportar\u00e1 1.000 millones de d\u00f3lares a las comunidades locales del condado de Solano<\/b>.<\/p>

    Si te interesa participar en acciones clim\u00e1ticas, Erik recomienda: \u201cBusca otras personas a las que les importan cosas similares y trabajen en ellas juntas. Simplemente al encontrar a otra persona para trabajar en algo juntos, estar\u00e1s m\u00e1s comprometido a llevar el proyecto a cabo, el resultado ser\u00e1 mejor con dos mentes trabajando juntas y tendr\u00e1s m\u00e1s atenci\u00f3n (especialmente si le dan un nombre a su d\u00fao)\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Syrus Tator<\/b><\/p>

    La mam\u00e1 de Syrus le ense\u00f1\u00f3 a ser consciente del medio ambiente desde muy joven. Ella ha estado recolectando, reuniendo y guardando productos frescos de granjas y mercados que de otro modo se desperdiciar\u00edan, durante a\u00f1os. Ella intervino para reiniciar la Solano Gleaning Initiative despu\u00e9s de que perdiera impulso, asumiendo el papel de su nueva fundadora y centr\u00e1ndose en reducir el desperdicio de alimentos mientras mejora el acceso a los alimentos en Vallejo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    A trav\u00e9s de alianzas como su colaboraci\u00f3n con Food is Free Bay Area, ella ayud\u00f3 a recuperar y redistribuir miles de libras de productos frescos a residentes con inseguridad alimentaria.<\/b> Estos esfuerzos desv\u00edan residuos de los vertederos, reducen las emisiones de metano y promueven un sistema alimentario m\u00e1s sostenible y centrado en la comunidad. Ella continu\u00f3 impulsando este trabajo con el apoyo de su dedicado equipo, que la mantiene motivada a trav\u00e9s de los desaf\u00edos.<\/p>

    Ella tambi\u00e9n atribuye gran parte de su fuerza y persistencia al incre\u00edble equipo que la rodea. Cuando el trabajo se vuelve desafiante, es su dedicaci\u00f3n y apoyo compartido lo que la mantiene motivada para seguir adelante y continuar generando un impacto.<\/p>

    \u201cLo m\u00e1s importante al iniciar un proyecto es encontrar un buen equipo con el que hacerlo\u201d, dijo Syrus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Claire Mulligan y Gemma Roberts\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>

    Claire y Gemma son pasantes en el Sierra Club de Napa, cuyas voces y liderazgo han tenido un gran impacto en varios proyectos ambientales. El Concejo Municipal de American Canyon vot\u00f3 a favor de agregar protecciones ambientales a los humedales cercanos cuando Claire y Gemma hicieron comentarios p\u00fablicos inst\u00e1ndolos a hacerlo. Si bien este d\u00fao din\u00e1mico se desempe\u00f1a como copresidentas del club ambiental de su escuela y colabora en un podcast centrado en el clima, Eco-Unfiltered, est\u00e1n individualmente comprometidas con la acci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica en Napa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Claire comenz\u00f3 su activismo clim\u00e1tico en la escuela secundaria despu\u00e9s de los incendios forestales de Napa en 2017. Los incendios forestales le abrieron los ojos a las consecuencias locales del cambio clim\u00e1tico. En su escuela secundaria, Claire encabez\u00f3 una campa\u00f1a de concientizaci\u00f3n estudiantil para proteger un arroyo local de la contaminaci\u00f3n, un esfuerzo que ha ayudado a apoyar el regreso del salm\u00f3n y la trucha arco\u00edris a la zona de Napa.<\/b><\/b><\/p>

    \u201cNo esperes el cambio. S\u00e9 el cambio\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Claire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Gemma se involucr\u00f3 en la defensa del clima despu\u00e9s de sentirse desesperanzada por el estado del clima. Se uni\u00f3 a varias organizaciones de acci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica, incluyendo Napa Schools for Climate Action, lo que la llev\u00f3 a tener una pasi\u00f3n por el activismo ambiental. Gemma produjo un video de anuncio de servicio p\u00fablico para el Sierra Club destacando la importancia de proteger los humedales del \u00c1rea de la Bah\u00eda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    \u201cEl miedo abrumador que sent\u00ed a una edad temprana se convirti\u00f3 en una pasi\u00f3n por la defensa, y pude canalizarlo en un trabajo significativo que contribuir\u00e1 a un cambio positivo para nuestro entorno compartido\u201d, dijo Gemma.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Azucena Mac\u00edas\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>

    Azucena se introdujo al trabajo ambiental a una edad temprana a trav\u00e9s del negocio de paisajismo de su familia. Como estudiante de arquitectura paisajista, su conocimiento de plantas y paisajismo ha sido fundamental como voluntaria para The Watershed Project. Ella ha restaur\u00f3 dos arroyos para reducir los riesgos de inundaci\u00f3n en Richmond, mantuvo dos zanjas de drenaje y jardines para polinizadores, e instal\u00f3 un sistema de captaci\u00f3n de agua de lluvia y un jard\u00edn de lluvia para los residentes.<\/b> La educaci\u00f3n comunitaria es parte integral de su activismo. Dise\u00f1\u00f3 un modelo f\u00edsico que demuestra los impactos del aumento del nivel del mar en las aguas subterr\u00e1neas, aumentando el acceso a la educaci\u00f3n ambiental para j\u00f3venes y comunidades de habla hispana.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    \u201cNo fue hasta que comenc\u00e9 a estudiar arquitectura paisajista y a trabajar en restauraci\u00f3n que comprend\u00ed el impacto m\u00e1s profundo que nuestro medio ambiente tiene en las personas\u201d, dijo Azucena. \u201cMe demostr\u00f3 que este trabajo no se trata solo de plantas o dise\u00f1o, sino de personas, cultura y la creaci\u00f3n de espacios que apoyen a las comunidades\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Raini Chugh<\/b><\/p>

    Raini comenz\u00f3 su activismo por el clima en tercer grado. Reuni\u00f3 a sus compa\u00f1eros para crear el Proyecto Equipo Tierra, un grupo de sus pares que ha trabajado para reducir un problema que pod\u00edan ver en su escuela primaria: el ralent\u00ed de los autom\u00f3viles. Durante los \u00faltimos 7 a\u00f1os, ella ha interactuado con l\u00edderes de la ciudad, ha aumentado la conciencia p\u00fablica y ha promovido pol\u00edticas de cero emisiones en el condado de Contra Costa.<\/b> Sus esfuerzos han contribuido a proclamaciones de la ciudad, campa\u00f1as educativas y se\u00f1alizaci\u00f3n visible en escuelas y espacios comunitarios, impulsando cambios de comportamiento duraderos y reduciendo las emisiones en los alrededores de las escuelas locales.\u00a0 <\/span>Su mensaje se centra en las voces juveniles que impulsan el cambio local, comenzando en las escuelas. \u2018Nuestro futuro, nuestras voces, nuestro poder\u2019, abordamos la crisis clim\u00e1tica trabajando con nuestras escuelas y ciudades locales para adoptar pol\u00edticas ambientales m\u00e1s s\u00f3lidas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    \u201cCon un problema tan masivo como la crisis clim\u00e1tica, la acci\u00f3n colectiva es nuestra herramienta m\u00e1s poderosa. Si todos nos unimos en nuestras comunidades y presionamos a los tomadores de decisiones locales para que act\u00faen sobre los problemas clim\u00e1ticos, juntos podemos trabajar hacia el mismo objetivo de un futuro m\u00e1s sostenible\u201d, comparti\u00f3 Raini.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Alex Macias\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>

    Alex atribuye una lecci\u00f3n de cuarto grado sobre el aumento del nivel del mar a su despertar ambiental y pasi\u00f3n por la preservaci\u00f3n de la tierra y la educaci\u00f3n al aire libre. Alex ha participado en servicio pr\u00e1ctico proyectos para preservar importantes reservas naturales como el Lago Lagunitas y la Reserva Marin Audubon<\/b>. Comprendiendo el poder personal de la educaci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica, Alex participa activamente en programas juveniles para ense\u00f1ar a estudiantes de primaria y secundaria sobre la gesti\u00f3n ambiental, el trabajo en equipo y la conexi\u00f3n con el mundo natural. Ha desarrollado lecciones de educaci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica para nivel elemental con el fin de ense\u00f1ar conceptos complejos como el aumento del nivel del mar a estudiantes de primaria, empoderando a los ni\u00f1os para que comprendan y se preocupen por el futuro de su comunidad.<\/p>

    \u201cVisiten sus parques\u201d, dijo Alex. \u201cEs la manera m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil de sentirse conectado con su entorno y encontrar oportunidades para hacer la diferencia.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Ben Smulewitz<\/b><\/p>

    Ben atribuye a su educaci\u00f3n en Marin School for Environmental Leadership como un impulso para su conciencia y liderazgo ambiental. Su enfoque hacia la defensa del medio ambiente es interseccional y visionario. Ben es un voluntario principal de Ceres Community Project, donde imparte lecciones de sostenibilidad mientras cocina m\u00e1s de 1000 comidas saludables para clientes con enfermedades autoinmunes.<\/b> Durante sus a\u00f1os de estudiante de segundo y tercer a\u00f1o, fund\u00f3 una Boutique de Prom en su escuela secundaria y un negocio sostenible, Reclaimed Roots. Su boutique de prom ha crecido hasta incluir m\u00e1s de 250 vestidos formales y 15 trajes sin costo alguno para los estudiantes, reduciendo el desperdicio de moda de los vertederos y haciendo que el prom sea asequible para los estudiantes. Su negocio, Reclaimed Roots, utiliza cajas de plantas de hierbas para desviar m\u00e1s de 465 pies de madera de los vertederos, mientras reduce los gases de CO2 y ense\u00f1a a la comunidad sobre jardiner\u00eda sin pesticidas da\u00f1inos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Ben declar\u00f3: \u201cIncluso si no sientes que est\u00e1s marcando la diferencia, hasta la acci\u00f3n m\u00e1s peque\u00f1a puede tener un gran impacto\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
