👋 Leader Profile: Meet Tamela Trussell – Founder, Move Past Plastic
Check out the replay of our recent Live Cafe Chat with Tamela here.
Tamela has been educating herself and others on the harms of plastic since 2020 full time. She’s created an incredible toolkit for organizers who wish to understand what is happening at their local level regarding environmental and how to enact change. She includes maps of waste management locations, frack wells, and waterways. She has a sample 10 minute presentation that folks can copy and give at their own local town councils to ensure water testing and proper regulations to protect drinking water from PFAS.
Tamela leads workshops to educate the public on PFAS and Artifical Turf. Check out Tamela’s organization Move Past Plastic to learn more: http://movepastplastic.com
