Ferrill, a staff member in DePaul’s Department of English, shares her first-hand experience limiting plastic consumption in her talk, "What I learned the year I tried to give up plastic."

In 2015, driven by environmental concerns, Ferrill challenged herself to avoid plastic for a year, documenting her struggles and unavoidable items on her blog, dumpingplastic.com. The idea originated from a writing class she taught at DePaul University.

Currently, Ferrill is Assistant Director of Graduate Programs and Department Operations in DePaul’s English Department. Her talk was given at a TEDx event, independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

As a high school student in drought-stricken Reno, Nevada, Celeste Tinajero initiated significant environmental changes at Reed High School.

In 2011, she secured a $12,000 grant from GREENevada to replace leaky bathroom fixtures with water-saving technology. Following this success, she spearheaded efforts to install a hydration station, raising funds through reusable water bottle sales to cover asbestos removal.

Tinajero graduated in 2013, leaving a lasting impact. Today, she continues her advocacy by designing sustainable living curricula for local schools and researching for Reno's "Bag the Ban" campaign against plastic bags.
