Curiosity is a crucial part of environmental justice work, as it allows for changemakers, like us at the EJ Semester, to ask questions, conduct research, and investigate ways to problem-solve and get involved. We've learned how to use our curiosity and creativity to change the angle of our perspective and analyze issues from varying viewpoints to determine what the best solution is.

Environmental Justice Module 2 Summary
In replacement of tests and exams, after each unit, we complete a module summary to present our knowledge and understanding of environmental justice-related content. One of my favorite module summaries was my presentation that I gave to the cohort which concentrated on the EJ movement, intersectionality, and strategies to create change.
Salinization vs. Plant Germination
Salinization vs. Plant Germination
For one of our science projects, within a small group, I investigated the correlation between salt and pea seed plant germination. After conducting our experiment, we concluded that our original hypothesis was supported. The presence of salt damaged the pea seeds' ability to germinate.
Letter to Mayor Bibb.pdfAbove is a written letter that I co-authored several classmates of mine wrote to Mayor Bibb in Cleveland in order to advocate for more evenly distributed resources to address lead poisoning in Cleveland families.

Marine-Protected Areas One of my favorite parts about the EJ semester is how we aim to learn about solutions and develop our own. Marine-protected areas are one of the most significant solutions to helping improve the state of our world and combat the climate crisis. Above is a poster I created to highlight the impact of overfishing and oil drilling, and explain how protecting our oceans and sea life can mediate the effects of global warming.
