Millennial environmentalist and community organizer Erin Schrode will be online
on July 28 at 8:00 PM to chat about turning passions into action.

Join the
livestream at Lincoln Corner Sarawak, Pustaka Negeri Sarawak to hear how Erin raises public awareness on environmental and social

community.

Erin Schrode is a citizen activist,
community organizer, and vocal advocate for environmental action, social
justice, public health, and responsible consumption – who just ran an
unprecedented campaign for US Congress in California.

Since co-founding Turning Green in 2005,
she has developed education and social action platforms to inspire, educate,
and mobilize millions of students and the global public with this non-profit
and beyond. Erin is the eco correspondent for
Fusion (ABC and Univision’s new joint venture), speaks internationally, and
consults with corporations, organizations, and governments on millennials,
sustainability, and social good. This young leader has been featured in and
tapped as an expert for the NY Times, Vanity Fair, ABC, CNN, Seventeen Magazine,
and various multimedia outlets.

As The White House said, Erin “is a dynamic, passionate and ambitious young woman
committed to creating big change everywhere she goes.” She champions active
citizenry and environmental stewardship worldwide, launching a youth education
project in Haiti, writing
curriculum for an eco education center for Palestinian, Israeli, and Jordanian
youth, developing recycling infrastructure in Ghana,
and recently working with Syrian, Iraqi, and Afghan refugees in the Mediterranean.

From her hometown of Marin
County, California to New York University to seventy nations around the
globe, this innovative entrepreneur is on a lifelong journey to inspire people
to action that ensures a just, safe, thriving world for future generations.
