Nivi Achanta (she/her), felt stuck upon entering the corporate world after graduating. She knew there was more she wanted to do to impact the world in her everyday life. Out of that grew Soapbox Project, the company behind Changeletter, a climate-focused newsletter created to help busy folks learn about and take action on climate and social justices issues. 

Host Stephanie sits down with Nivi to talk more about activism, taking bite-sized actions daily, and the importance of building inclusive, diverse movements for change.

The team at Soapbox Project curated a list of excellent eco-conscious date night ideas for Scoop. We’ve taken three ideas and worked with local businesses to create an Earth-Friendly Date Nights package as a reward for our crowdfunding campaign!

Our campaign ends at 11:59 pm Pacific Time on Monday, November 1st. There are just a few days left to make sure we reach our goal. Head to Indiegogo and contribute to Scoop’s growth now: tinyurl.com/scooplove
