Why I Care about Recycling

“I want to do what I can to preserve our planet’s finite natural resources so that our children and future generations can enjoy healthy air and water and the beauty of our environment.”

Personal Passions and Interests

Trina spends her free time cooking and baking, costuming superheroes, and taking walks in the woods with her husband and two young sons near their home in Atlanta, Georgia.
