Meet the Green Ink Bloggers 2014

Payton Coleman

I am a rising senior who enjoys creativity, helping the environment, 

and theatre arts. My love for the sustainability of the environment 

came recently when I realized that there are so many things that can 

be done to help the environment. I am originally from 

Detroit, Michigan which is a place that has suffered greatly from 

poor environmental decisions. So overall, I am a very

 happy outgoing person who is both a environmental and 

theatre nerd. Nerds Rule!! 

Alia Dahlan 

I am a rising senior at the North Carolina School of Science 

and Mathematics. I live in Asheville, NC. I am in environmental 

clubs and I enjoy volunteering at food banks 

and non-profits. We need to protect the environment 

for ourselves and future generations. I love dance, winter guard, and cheer.

Jumana Moughrabi 

Hi there! My name is Jumana and I'm an uprising sophomore at Riverside 

High School in Durham, NC. I've been interested in 

environmental science since I was 4 years old. I believe finding 

new techniques to help improve and preserve the environment 

around is and in our communities. You don't own the Earth the Earth owns you. 

Boothe Pfaff 

I am a 15 year old sophomore from Salisbury High School. I have

 always been interested in things around the science area. 

The environment is an important part of science, that everyone 

should take care of. Some origins of science were first thought of 

through the observation of the environment. 

Aydan Smith

I'm Aydan Smith and I'm 16 years old. I am a rising senior at 

Chapel Hill High School, and I love science 

and the world around me. It's just an amazing 

and spectacular place to live in. The world is changing 

and I'm here finding out new ways to solve issues 

of the changing environment!!!
