Actor Lance Gross, Pandora Thomas and Zakiya Harris of Earthseed provided innovative strategies on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and tools that will help save the planet from environmental injustice.

“I learned a lot from the speakers today. Some of the most important things that I learned were how to change my eating habits, how to conserve electricity and how to save money by going green. I really enjoyed everything that the panelists had to say.”

“The green initiative program was extremely enlightening. I have learned so much on how to better [sustain] my body by eating right and my environment by becoming eco-conscious. I look forward to helping push this initiative in the African American community.”
