It’s another exciting day here on Open Space Radio because I get
to introduce you to our other new co-host on the show! If you
follow NRPA on social media, you likely already know Christina
High. Christina is NRPA’s marketing coordinator and is the
brilliant person behind all the fun, inspiring and educational
content you see throughout NRPA’s social media channels.


 


A big welcome to Christina as our other new co-host!


 


Our guest today is someone who Christina and I have both been a
fan of when it comes to producing really valuable, easy-to-digest
content as it relates to sustainability and just being more
environmentally conscious overall.


 


Kenny Barnes is the program and outreach coordinator for
Sustainability Matters, a grassroots environmental nonprofit
based in Virginia, dedicated to cultivating community through
conservation and making sustainability fun, realistic and
inclusive for all.
