Amelia Southern-Uribe, 21, grew up in environmentally vulnerable Southern communities, recognizing early on that environmental justice is linked to the liberation of marginalized groups. In 2019, they founded Arkansas’s first Zero Hour chapter in Fayetteville, which became a model for climate activism across the state.

Addressing Arkansas’s educational disparities, which exacerbate injustice, Southern-Uribe co-founded Roots magazine in 2022. Roots amplifies BIPOC Southern voices and environmental knowledge, providing free art supplies to artists. In its pilot year, over $7,800 was raised to distribute the magazine statewide.

Sarah Goff advocates for a revolutionary nationwide reuse retail system to address overconsumption, waste, and the climate crisis. This system would rival big box stores in convenience and square footage, utilizing existing local resources to eliminate the need for new manufacturing and shipping.

Goff is the executive director and co-founder of The Repurpose Project, a Gainesville, Florida non-profit focused on creative reuse and architectural salvage. Her passion stems from her childhood in the Marshall Islands, where she witnessed ocean plastic pollution and now sees her home threatened by climate change. Her work combines art, science, and a commitment to a better world.

Verena Lindra, an Art Institute of Seattle graduate and former DJ, is transforming highly polluting plastic waste into artistic and functional pieces. Instead of producing songs, she now focuses on a sustainable lifestyle by creating goods from recycled plastics.

Through her Waste Recycling Project (WARP), Verena crafts household essentials like dining tools, planters, coffee tables, and even jewelry. Her innovative approach demonstrates that hard-to-degrade materials can be repurposed, challenging the notion that plastic must always be waste.
