Our speakers today were five high school students from Millburn HS, Pingry, and the Lawrenceville school. They are all members of Eco-Ambassadors, an organization co-founded by Dr. Radhika Iyengar, director of education at Columbia University – Earth’s Institute Center for Sustainable Development, and a group of Millburn residents. These highly accomplished young men and women are civic leaders who attend Millburn council meetings, create videos and podcasts to raise awareness about ecology, and foster healthier communities and ecosystems.
Each spoke for several minutes about their science and ecology research and action as members of Millburn’s ‘Green Team’ and positioned their comments in the context of Rotary’s 4-Way test. The speakers, in alphabetical order are: Anvi Anand, Ishaan Bharadwaj, Suvid Bordia, Ayan Dalmia, and Aaryan Jain. They all have very impressive resumes, and we greatly appreciate their inputs to further the nation’s collective efforts to combat environmental mis-management.
