In this episode, we interview Puji Masireddy, a high school student living in Pennsylvania. She is a Youth Advisory Board member, originally joining ACE as a PA Action Fellow. During the fellowship, she was involved in the Enough! campaign and voter registration work. She is also a member of the Youth Leadership Team where she develops strategies and creative branding ideas for the renewable energy campaign. In addition, she is on ACE’s Youth Advisory Board to support the ACE staff in ensuring voices of youth are heard and amplified in the climate space. In addition to Puji’s work within ACE, she focuses on environmental justice advocacy and organizing in Chester, PA. One of the nation’s largest trash incineration facilities is located in Chester and it causes rampant air pollution and contributes to environmental racism in the region. For the past year, Puji has been working on a campaign called Boycott Ocean City, Maryland to put pressure on OCMD’s City Council to refuse renewing their contract with the incinerating company, Covanta and to start recycling instead.
