Student Profile

Elle Banas

Hi! I’m a sophomore studying Geography and Environment, Sustainability, and Policy. I also have minors in Spanish and Public Policy. I am passionate about creating a more sustainable future by understanding the waste hierarchy. I have worked on minimizing waste by reducing consumption, maximizing reuse, and composting initiatives. Through my experience at my local forest preserve, I am also passionate about environmental education. I find it important to teach the next generation about sustainability and waste initiatives.
