https://www.environerd.comWhat Inspired You to Make This?
I'm inspired by the accessibility of nature in our community, from the mountains to the beach. My background is in marine biology and I am focused on environmental education that empowers the next generation to protect our oceans, and we are lucky to have beautiful beaches where we can connect with nature, study living organisms, and make a difference for the planet.
