Entry #21: Making the Holidays a Little Greener with Katie Bell

Katie Bell leads Opwall's fundraising team and manages our site
in Borneo. She originally joined Opwall after becoming passionate
about marine science, and achieving a bachelor's degree in marine
environmental science and a master's degree in coastal resource
management. Katie is also Opwall's Environmental Officer working
to lower the environmental impact of our daily operations, from
offsetting travel to eliminating plastic waste. We discuss how
anyone can lower their environmental impact during the holiday
season while still enjoying the festivities. We also discuss tips
for low-waste gift giving and holiday meals, and how to address
controversial topics like anthropogenic climate change with
friends and family in a sensitive way. As you prepare for this
holiday season, take a moment to reflect on small ways you as an
individual can make a difference for the environment. Katie
explains how even a small change can make a positive impact.
