Adi Davis
Adi Davis has
been interested in the environment since she climbed her first tree.
So far in her young life, she has helped publish a book, which
garnered her the Bronze award in Girl Scouts and grew organic food
for the local food pantry for which she was awarded the Silver award
in Girl Scouts. Last year Adi was a Youth Delegate at the 9th
World Wilderness Congress in Merida Mexico. As part of
Ecological, a local youth environmental group, she assisted in their
efforts to reduce waste at the Homer Landfill and create awareness
in the community regarding environmentally friendly habits.
Ecological recently won the Spirit of Youth Award and the
Presidential Environmental Award for these efforts. She is currently
excited to enter her second year of high school and continuing her
efforts on reducing waste in the Homer Landfill by working with
local schools to recycle and eliminate Styrofoam trays.
