Eliza Speaks: Female, Millennial, Advocate for the Environment

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/7/5/6/600_462974166.jpeg

Eliza Brady is a 19-year-old student at Tulane University. She is a passionate supporter of the environment, a struggling vegetarian, and a member of the millennial generation.

She is a Massachusetts native, and feels at home among the giant pine trees and farmlands. But Eliza began noticing the environmental problems we are facing, growing at an alarming rate, and decided at this young age to dedicate her studies at school, her summer, and very likely her life, to the cause.

"I found myself feeling helpless because although I was taking actions in my personal life to reduce my effect on the environment, I knew that that alone was not enough and felt that I had a greater responsibility to do more."

Eliza comes to us with her personal story, a story of caring and worrying about issues that most of her age group prefer to ignore. She will tell what it is like to be 19 years old in 2017, what she sees in her future - and what she hopes to see instead.

Potuck 6:00-7:00 p.m. followed by discussion 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Helen Snively's place near Central Square.

Biodiversity for a Livable Climate is a small non-profit and a $10 donation is requested.

Helen Snively's house is about halfway between Central Square and Inman Square. Take the MBTA red line to Central Square, exit the station walking down Massachusetts Avenue in the direction of Harvard Square (away from Boston). Walk five blocks and make a right on Lee Street, then walk two blocks past Harvard Street and Broadway. Cross Broadway onto Fayette Street (which will be in front of you), walk down Fayette and make your first left onto Fayette Park (a private way). If you're coming by car, there's ample free parking on Sundays in Cambridge.

The address is One Fayette Park, immediately past the first driveway on the right. It's a green 4-family. Come up on the first porch and look for a number 1 on the door. If you have questions please post to this Meetup, or call Helen at 617-547-1326.
