Why I Care About Recycling and a Circular Economy
“I care about recycling and the circular economy because the effects of climate change and pollution impact everyone, but particularly marginalized communities feel the negative impacts the most. I believe in environmental equity and healthy living environments. I believe addressing the issues of climate change with a “boots on the ground” top-down approach starting with recycling education can truly influence impactful change. Environmental equity is a humanitarian right”.
Personal Passions and Interests
Inglish believes in community development and advocacy, so she frequently volunteers at the local food bank in Atlanta. She is a gamer and plays in an all-African American female gaming league, where they are motivated to create representation in a traditionally male-dominated space.
