Lisa Purdy, New Media Coordinator
Lisa goes to Brandeis University–near Boston–and she’s from Pittsburgh, PA. She’s studying Biology, English, Spanish, French, and of course Miscellaneous–in other words, she’s Undecided. Aside from eclectic studying, she loves simplicity; happiness; color; celestial beings. Climate Summer means a venue to channel her passion and anger about our continuing fossil fuel use into something productive; it means creating a living network of environmental activist; it means strong bonds with friends brought together by a common goal. She can’t wait to zip around Massachusetts, tenacity and trailer in tow.
